MUCOR AMPHIBIORUM IN THE TOAD, BUFO MARINUS, IN AUSTRALIA [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1994 Mucor amphibiorum, a fungus previously found in captive amphibians in Europe and the platypus in Australia, was observed in free-ranging toads, Bufo marinus, in Australia. In tissues the fungus occurred as sphaerules 4.9 to 36.4 microns in diameter; hyphae were not formed. Some spharules developed two to 11 daughter sphaerules internally and these were

Helpful invaders: Can cane toads reduce the parasite burdens of native frogs?
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015 Many invading species have brought devastating parasites and diseases to their new homes, thereby imperiling native taxa. Potentially, though, invaders might have the opposite effect. If they take up parasites that otherwise would infect native taxa, but

Electrical responses of rods in the retina of Bufo marinus
The Journal of Physiology, 1977 1. Intracellular responses to flashes and steps of light have been recorded from the outer segment and the cell body of rods in the retina of the Bufo marinus. The identification of the origin of recorded responses has been confirmed by intracellular marking.2.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The study of genes involved in sexual differentiation, as Vasa and Sox9, is of great importance, as they serve as specific markers for the germline and the male differentiation pathway, respectively. This study characterized using immunofluorescence the expression of the Vasa and Sox9 genes and laminin during gonadal differentiation in larvae ...

Evidence toads may modulate landing preparation without predicting impact time
Biology Open, 2017 Within anurans (frogs and toads), cane toads (Bufo marinus) perform particularly controlled landings in which the forelimbs are exclusively used to decelerate and stabilize the body after impact. Here we explore how toads achieve dynamic stability across
