Enterobacteriaceae and Aeromonas hydrophila in Minnesota frogs and tadpoles (Rana pipiens).
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 222 Rana pipiens frogs and 34 tadpoles captured in and near Minnesota, Aeromonas hydrophila and 29 species of Enterobacteriaceae, including yersinia enterocolitica and Salmonella arizonae, were isolated from intestines. The prevalence of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae was lowest in frogs captured in early spring and highest in frogs captured in late summer.

Increased prevalence of mature females bearing pigmented oocytes from populations of Minnesota Rana pipiens.
Mature female leopard frogs, Rana pipiens, collected from several sites in Minnesota from 1967 through 1977, were examined for the presence of pigmented oocytes. An increase in the percent of mature females with pigmented oocytes was observed in the frogs captured in 1977 compared to those captured earlier. Coincident with the increase in prevalence of females with pigmented oocytes, there was ...
متن کاملContinued Diminished Prevalence of the Lucke Renal Adenocarcinoma in Minnesota Leopard Frogs
No Luck? renal adenocarcinomas were detected at autopsy of 1216 northern leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) collected in Minnesota during the spring and autumn of 1978 and the spring of 1979, seasons in which the tumor was formerly obtained with a high frequency. The prevalence of renal tumors has been declining in Minnesota since at least 1966, and R. pipiens has become progressively scarce in Minne...
متن کاملImmunomodulation in post-metamorphic northern leopard frogs, Lithobates pipiens, following larval exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ether.
Pollutants and disease are factors implicated in amphibian population declines, and it is hypothesized that these factors exert a synergistic adverse effect, which is mediated by pollutant-induced immunosuppression. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are ubiquitous pollutants that can exert immunotoxicity, making them of interest to test effects on amphibian immune function. We orally expos...
متن کاملCarryover effects of phenotypic plasticity: embryonic environment and larval response to predation risk in Wood Frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus) and Northern Leopard Frogs (Lithobates pipiens)
Limitations of phenotypic plasticity affect the success of individuals and populations in changing environments. We assessed the plasticity-history limitation on predator-induced defenses in anurans (Wood Frogs, Lithobates sylvaticus (LeConte, 1825), and Northern Leopard Frogs, Lithobates pipiens (Schreber, 1782)), predicting that plastic responses to predation risk by dragonfly larvae (family ...
متن کاملVirulence properties of motile aeromonads isolated from farmed frogs Rana tigerina and R. rugulosa.
Virulence factors were compared in Aeromonas species isolated from clinically normal and septicaemic farmed frogs from Thailand. Haemolysin activities against frog erythrocytes were significantly different within the collection of aeromonads. Groups of high haemolytic activity (unspeciated Aeromonas, Au), moderate haemolytic activity (A. hydrophila), and low haemolytic activity (A. veronii biov...
