Alizarin Red S-Alcian Blue Staining for Regenerated tail of Common House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus)

Modified double skeletal staining protocols with Alizarin red and Alcian blue in laboratory animals

Abstract Purpose: Skeletal staining is a way to study the effect of many chemical or herbal substances on development of bones and cartilages in order to record the level of probable deformity.This article aimed to present a modified protocol to make all skeletal studies on laboratory animals possible. Materials and Methods: The important notes about skeletal staining were fixing by ethan...

The invasion and potential impact of the Asian House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) in Australia

Hemidactylus frenatus is an Asian gecko that has spread pantropically to become one the world’s most widespread reptiles. It has been established in Australia for approximately 50 years, but the last two decades have seen massive range expansion across settled areas of northern and eastern Australia; and this spread continues at pace. Disturbingly, H. frenatus is increasingly being detected in ...

Antimicrobial and Herbal Drug Resistance in Enteric Bacteria Isolated from Faecal Droppings of Common House Lizard/Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus)

From 194 faecal dropping samples of common house geckos collected from offices (60), houses (88), integrated farm units (IFS,18) and hostels, guest houses, and dining rooms of different canteen/mess (HGM, 28), 326 bacterial isolates of enteric bacteria belonging to 17 genera and 34 species were detected. Escherichia coli were the most frequently (39) isolated followed by Citrobacter freundii (3...
