Molecular phylogenetic analyses of genus Crocodylus (Eusuchia, Crocodylia, Crocodylidae) and the taxonomic position of Crocodylus porosus

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010
The genus Crocodylus consists of 11 species including the largest living reptile, Crocodylus porosus. The current understanding of the intrageneric relationships between the members of the genus Crocodylus is sparse. Even though members of this genus have been included in many phylogenetic analyses, different molecular approaches have resulted in ...

Cryopreservation of saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) spermatozoa

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2017
The aim of the present study was to develop a protocol for the successful cryopreservation of Saltwater crocodile spermatozoa. Sperm cells were frozen above liquid nitrogen vapour in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing either 0.3 M trehalose, 0.3 M raffinose or 0.3 M sucrose and compared with glycerol (0.3–2.7 M).

Wariness in Crocodylus porosus (Reptilia : Crocodilidae)

Wildlife Research, 1979
Of 1364 C. porosus sighted at night, 954 (69.9%) could be approached by a boat and spotlight to within 5 ft, and 1191 (87.3%) to within 20 ft. The percentage which could be approached to within 5 ft decreased with increasing body size and varied between rivers.

Histological determination of skin thickness in farmed Australian Crocodylus porosus

Acta Histochemica, 2022
This descriptive study examined the variation in ventral Crocodylus porosus (saltwater crocodile) belly skin. The study is the first to determine both intra and inter variation of C. porosus skin, epidermis and dermis thickness across the ventral belly region.

Attempted transmission of dermatophilosis in saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus)

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1998
[Extract] So-called brown-spot disease as reported in alligators and crocodiles is now recognised as an economically important skin disease of farmed crocodiles and alligators in Australia, Africa and America. Dermatophilus sp, which resembles Dermatophilus congolensis on culture, has been isolated from brown-spot lesions in both alligators and ...

Salt Glands in the Tongue of the Estuarine Crocodile Crocodylus porosus

Science, 1981
The apparent absence of salt glands in marine and estuarine Crocodilia has long been a puzzle. However, we have identified glands in the tongue of Crocodylus porosus which exude a concentrated secretion of sodium chloride. The glands are similar in ultrastructure to other reptilian salt glands and undoubtedly play a

Characterization of serum complement activity of saltwater (Crocodylus porosus) and freshwater (Crocodylus johnstoni) crocodiles

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2006
We employed a spectroscopic assay, based on the hemolysis of sheep red blood cells (SRBCs), to assess the innate immune function of saltwater and freshwater crocodiles in vitro. Incubation of serum from freshwater and saltwater crocodiles with SRBCs resulted in concentration-dependent increases in SRBC hemolysis. The hemolytic activity occurred rapidly,

Pharmacokinetics of tildipirosin in estuarine (Crocodylus porosus) and freshwater (Crocodylus siamensis) crocodiles

The Veterinary Journal
Tildipirosin is a macrolide antimicrobial. It is authorised for the treatment and prevention of respiratory disease in cattle and pigs. There are no data on its administration in crocodiles. Therefore, this study evaluated the disposition kinetics of tildipirosin after intravenous (dose: 2 mg/kg) and intramuscular (doses: 2 and 4 mg/kg) administration ...
