West Nile Virus in Farmed Crocodiles, Zambia, 2019

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
We detected West Nile virus (WNV) nucleic acid in crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) in Zambia. Phylogenetically, the virus belonged to lineage 1a, which is predominant in the Northern Hemisphere.

Lateral osteoderms of the Nile crocodile Crocodylus niloticus [PDF]

Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, 2019
The article shows morphometry of large and small lateral osteoderms on the Nile crocodile body, which forms into arc-like lines. Length of large lateral osteoderms is 2.52 times greater than small lateral osteoderms, width of large lateral osteoderms is 2.20 times greater than small lateral osteoderms, and area of large lateral osteoderms is 5.59 times

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae). [PDF]

J Anat
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Vertical transmission of microcystins to Nile crocodile ( Crocodylus niloticus ) eggs [PDF]

Toxicon, 2017
Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are known for their extensive and highly visible blooms in eutrophic, stagnant freshwater bodies. Climate change and global warming have also contributed to a rise in toxic cyanobacterial blooms. One of the most important cyanobacteria is Microcystis aeruginosa, which can synthesize various microcystins that can affect

Detectability and impact of repetitive surveys on threatened West African crocodylians

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
West African crocodylians are among the most threatened and least studied crocodylian species globally. Assessing population status and establishing a basis for population monitoring is the highest priority action for this region.

GOING DEEPER INTO MODERN AND FOSSIL CROCODILIAN TOOTH MICROANATOMY: WHAT CAN BE INFERRED OF PALAEOENVIRONMENT AND TAPHONOMY FROM HISTOCHEMICAL ANALYSES?

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2022
Teeth provide information about the evolutionary pathway of an organism, its biology and habitat. This is the case even of fossilized teeth, since they have perdurable biomineralized structures, as biological apatite. The material that has been selected

The histology and growth rate of Nile crocodile ( Crocodylus niloticus ) claws

Journal of Morphology, 2023
Abstract The histology and growth of reptilian and crocodilian claws (ungues) have been extensively studied; however, Nile crocodile ( Crocodylus niloticus ) claws have not received adequate attention.
