New records of Hepatozoon and Oswaldofilaria from saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in Australia [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Diseases affecting wild Australian saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) are rarely reported due to the difficulty in capturing animals and obtaining samples. In this investigation, we identified two haemoparasites (Hepatozoon and a filarial nematode)

Behaviours of farmed saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) housed individually or in groups [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) are farmed in Australia primarily for their skins and meat. Commercially, they are raised in group pens as hatchlings and grower crocodiles and then moved to unitised (individual) pens for the final finishing ...

Translocation, genetic structure and homing ability confirm geographic barriers disrupt saltwater crocodile movement and dispersal. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Translocated saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia often return to their original capture sites, which complicates management interventions aimed at reducing human-crocodile conflict.

Human-crocodile conflict and conservation implications of Saltwater Crocodiles Crocodylus porosus (Reptilia: Crocodylia: Crocodylidae) in Sri Lanka

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2015
Human-wildlife conflict occurs when human requirements encroach on those of wildlife populations, with potential costs to both humans and wild animals.  As top predators in most inland waters, crocodilians are involved in human-wildlife conflicts in many

Strong purifying selection in endogenous retroviruses in the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) in the Northern Territory of Australia [PDF]

Mobile DNA, 2012
Background Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of exogenous retroviruses that have integrated into the nuclear DNA of a germ-line cell. Here we present the results of a survey into the ERV complement of Crocodylus porosus, the saltwater crocodile,

Evidence of Infection with Zoonotic Mosquito-Borne Flaviviruses in Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in Northern Australia [PDF]

Viruses, 2022
The risk of flavivirus infections among the crocodilian species was not recognised until West Nile virus (WNV) was introduced into the Americas. The first outbreaks caused death and substantial economic losses in the alligator farming industry.

Diurnal Encounter-Based Size Distribution, Nesting Sites and Habitat Characteristics of the Mugger Crocodile (<i>Crocodylus palustris</i>) in Beeshazari Lake Complex, Nepal. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study assessed the diurnal encounter‐based size distribution, nesting sites, and habitat features of the mugger crocodiles in five lakes of the Beeshazari Lake complex. Key factors such as slope, substrate type, mid‐lake depth, anthropogenic threats, and invasive plant species significantly affected mugger occurrence, highlighting the need for ...

Mosquito-Independent Transmission of West Nile virus in Farmed Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) [PDF]

Viruses, 2020
West Nile virus, Kunjin strain (WNVKUN) is endemic in Northern Australia, but rarely causes clinical disease in humans and horses. Recently, WNVKUN genomic material was detected in cutaneous lesions of farmed saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus ...
