Reptile and Amphibian Urinary Tract Medicine: Diagnosis and Therapy
The urinary tract includes kidneys, ureters, cloaca, and bladder in reptiles and amphibians. Problem-oriented medicine includes identifying clinical problems, defining diagnoses for each problem, implementing a plan to address each diagnosis, and reformulating the plan as indicated in follow-up evaluations. This paper is intended to serve as an instructional aide for those who are preparing for...
متن کاملReptile- and Amphibian-associated Salmonellosis in Childcare Centers, United States
during the clinical stage of the disease, and in 1 case, at the preclinical or asymptomatic stage. Our fi ndings suggest that PrPSc is likely to be detected in the saliva of BSE-affected cattle during the clinical stage of disease, after accumulation of PrPSc in the brain. PrPSc was found in the salivary glands of BSE-affected cattle at the terminal stage of infection (1). Therefore, once the i...
متن کاملMine Spoil Prairies Expand Critical Habitat for Endangered and Threatened Amphibian and Reptile Species
Coal extraction has been occurring in the Midwestern United States for over a century. Despite the pre-mining history of the landscape as woodlands, spent surface coalfields are often reclaimed to grasslands. We assessed amphibian and reptile species on a large tract of coal spoil prairie and found 13 species of amphibians (nine frog and four salamander species) and 19 species of reptiles (one ...
متن کاملThe Role of Early Detection and Rapid Response in Thwarting Amphibian and Reptile Introductions in Florida
Prevention is the best policy for dealing with introduced species. However, biologists often spend an inordinate amount of time studying their spread and impacts rather than focusing on what should be done to thwart their establishment in the first place. Amphibian and reptile introductions are reaching epidemic proportions in Florida, largely due to irresponsible behavior by pet owners and the...
متن کاملPlasticity and genetic adaptation mediate amphibian and reptile responses to climate change
Phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation are predicted to mitigate some of the negative biotic consequences of climate change. Here, we evaluate evidence for plastic and evolutionary responses to climate variation in amphibians and reptiles via a literature review and meta-analysis. We included studies that either document phenotypic changes through time or space. Plasticity had a clear and...
