Nejinak je tomu u ještěrů. Nedostatek dostupné české literatury v oblasti chovu scinků mě vedl k myšlence sepsat krátký výstižný přehled o rodu Tribolonotus, jehož zástupce chovám. Tento návrh naštěstí neprošel a bylo mi doporučeno se zaměřit na celou nadčeleď Scincomorpha, přesněji na druhy, které jsou chovány. Důvodem ke zvolení této nadčeledi byl nedostatek dostupných informací o chovaných druzích v českém jazyce. Cílem této práce bylo sestavit přehled chovaných ještěrů z nadčeledi Scincomorpha a vhodných podmínek pro chov vybraných druhů

Due to the growing popularity of reptiles as a household animals and the development of numerous reptile farms, they have become a common sight in veterinary clinics. As parasitic infections represent a serious problem among pet reptiles obtained by captive breeding and from pet shops, the purpose of the present study was to determine the species composition of parasites present in reptiles bred privately or in Cracow Zoological Garden, and those obtained from pet shops. Fecal samples collected from 91 reptiles (30 turtles, 40 lizards, and 21 snakes) were examined using the quantitative McMaster method. Parasite eggs or protozoan oocysts were identified in 59.3% of samples. These included the eggs of the Pharyngodonidae, Ascarididae and Rhabditoidea (Nematoda), and Trematoda, as well as oocysts of Isospora and Eimeria. In addition, pseudoparasites belonging to the Mesostigmata, Demodecidae and Myobiidae were found.

Other than nematodes, one of the most common One of the most popular groups of exotic reptile parasites are the coccidia. Abdel-Wasae [4] animals found in the home is exotic reptiles. Some found coccidia from the genus Isospora in 64.3% of are purchased as surplus from private breeders or examined chameleons Chamaeleo calyptratus, one bought in specialist pet shops, while others have of the most popular species of pet reptiles.

    © 2016 LAUREN P. KANE INVESTIGATING THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF TERRAPENE HERPESVIRUS 1 IN FREE- RANGING EASTERN BOX TURTLE POPULATIONS BY LAUREN P. KANE THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of VMS - Comparative Biosciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Assistant Professor Matthew C. Allender, Chair Associate Professor David Bunick Clinical Associate Professor Jennifer Langan Assistant Professor Elizabeth Driskell ii ABSTRACT Herpesviruses are ubiquitous, well described pathogens in captive chelonians worldwide, but their importance on free-ranging populations are less defined. In this thesis, a quantitative PCR was developed that detected a 58 base pair segment of the DNA polymerase gene segment of Terrapene herpesvirus 1 (Order: Herpesvirales; Family: Herpesviridae; Subfamily: Alphaherpesvirinae; Genus: Scutavirus). This assay was used to estimate prevalence of herpesvirus infection in 409 free-ranging eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) from Tennessee and Illinois. The overall prevalence in this study population was 31.3% (95% confidence interval: 27-36%), with a significantly higher prevalence in July (52.3%; 95% CI: 41- 59%) compared to May (13.3%; 95% CI: 5-15%) and September (34.4%; 95% CI: 29-47%). Clinical signs recorded in box turtles were not significantly associated with herpesvirus infection and may be attributed to a latency period.

This genus comprised four morphological groups that were later defined as four different genera, Ameivula, Aurivela, Cnemidophorus and Contomastix. The last appears as paraphyletic in a recent phylogenetic reconstruction based on morphology, but monophyletic in a reconstruction using molecular characters. Six species are allocated to Contomastix. One of them, C. lacertoides, having an extensive and disjunct geographic distribution in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Preliminary analyses revealed morphological differences among its populations, suggesting that it is actually a complex of species. Here, we describe a new species corresponding to the Argentinian populations hitherto regarded as C. lacertoides, by integrating morphological and molecular evidence. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the presence of notched proximal margin of the tongue is a character that defines the genus Contomastix.

  • Behavioural Rise in Body Temperature and Tachycardia by Handling of a Turtle (Clemmys Insculpta)
    Behavioural Processes 49 (2000) 61–68 www.elsevier.com/locate/behavproc Behavioural rise in body temperature and tachycardia by handling of a turtle (Clemmys insculpta) Michel Cabanac *, Ce´cile Bernieri De´partement de Physiologie, Faculte´deMe´decine, Uni6ersite´La6al, Que´., Canada G1K 7P4 Received 20 September 1999; received in revised form 13 December 1999; accepted 17 December 1999 Abstract Three turtles, Clemmys insculpta, were kept together in a terrarium in a climatic chamber at 18°C, with lights on at 07:00 h and off at 19:00 h. In one corner of the terrarium an infrared lamp produced an operative temperature of 42.5°C, thereby allowing behavioral temperature regulation during the light period. When the turtles were handled only once a day for the purpose of taking cloacal temperature, their body temperature held stable at about 22–23°C. Immediately after being handled the turtles sought the radiant heat and regulated their body temperature at about 4°C higher than before the handling. When repeatedly handled every 15 min for 2 h the turtles maintained a high body temperature by their behavior. When not repeatedly handled the turtles returned to their initial preferred body temperature ca 22–23°C within 2 h. It is hypothesized that handling causes in turtles a fever similar to that observed in stressed mammals. The turtles were equipped with an electrocardiogram radio transmitter and their heart rate was recorded at a distance. Heart rate in undisturbed turtles was 28.390.6 bt/min. During a 1-min handling, their heart rate rose to 40.290.8 bt/min.
