Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...

Comparison of Corticosterone Concentrations in Dermal Secretions and Urine in Free-Ranging Marine Toads (Rhinella marina) in Human Care. [PDF]

Vet Med Int, 2023
Corticosterone concentrations have been measured in amphibians by collecting blood or urine samples. However, blood sampling is invasive, and urine can be difficult to collect. A novel method of swabbing the skin of an amphibian has been utilized in numerous species but has not been verified in marine toads (Rhinella marina).

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

Comparative reconstruction of the predatory feeding structures of the polyphenic nematode Pristionchus pacificus

Evolution &Development, Volume 24, Issue 1-2, Page 16-36, March 2022., 2022
The novel morphology of a nematode model for the developmental genetics of polyphenism (Pristionchus pacificus) was reconstructed at the level of individual cells. A comparative study of this anatomical map revealed that the dimorphic, predatory morphology of P.

Differences in morphology and in composition and release of parotoid gland secretion in introduced cane toads (Rhinella marina) from established populations in Florida, USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 1013-1022, January 2021., 2021
Predators in the United States have evolved in sympatry with native bufonids. Compared to Australia, little attention has been paid to gland morphology or toxicity of invasive cane toads in Florida. Although we found no effect of locality on gland morphology or poison composition, our results indicate that northern FL populations show an increased ...

Survival of the feces: Does a nematode lungworm adaptively manipulate the behavior of its cane toad host? [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
Parasites can enhance their fitness by modifying the behavior of their hosts. Using antihelminthic drugs to experimentally remove lungworm infection from cane toads, we were able to show behavioral modifications in the toads that enhanced rather than decreased parasite fitness.

Ophthalmic findings and parameters in Western tiger salamanders (Ambystoma mavortium) from northern Colorado. [PDF]

Vet Ophthalmol
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to document ophthalmic examination findings and provide reference values for ocular examinations and diagnostics in clinically normal Western tiger salamanders (Ambystoma mavortium) and to evaluate the mydriatic effect of a topical rocuronium bromide and identify any adverse effects.
