Biliary cryptosporidiosis in two corn snakes (Elaphe guttata).
Cryptosporidia are 5-7-mm apicomplexid coccidian parasites that infect humans and many other species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. In humans and cattle, infection by Cryptosporidium parvum usually affects the intestinal tract, resulting in self-limiting diarrhea.4 Respiratory and intestinal cryptosporidiosis occur in birds infected with C. bayleyi and C. meleagridis.5 Sneezing, coughin...
متن کاملCharacterization and cooled storage of semen from corn snakes (Elaphe guttata).
The phylogenetic order Squamata has many representatives that could benefit from the use of semen preservation as a tool for assisting conservation. To date, few studies have been made evaluating the potential for collecting and preserving semen from snakes. The objectives of this study were to characterize semen parameters of the corn snake (Elaphe guttata), including appearance, volume, conce...
متن کاملArboreal habitat structure affects the performance and modes of locomotion of corn snakes (Elaphe guttata).
Arboreal environments pose many functional challenges for animal locomotion including fitting within narrow spaces, balancing on cylindrical surfaces, moving on inclines, and moving around branches that obstruct a straight path. Many species of snakes are arboreal and their elongate, flexible bodies appear well-suited to meet many of these demands, but the effects of arboreal habitat structure ...
متن کاملEffects of perch diameter and incline on the kinematics, performance and modes of arboreal locomotion of corn snakes (Elaphe guttata).
Animals moving through arboreal habitats face several functional challenges, including fitting onto and moving on cylindrical branches with variable diameters and inclines. In contrast to lizards and primates, the arboreal locomotion of snakes is poorly understood, despite numerous snake species being arboreal. We quantified the kinematics and performance of corn snakes (Elaphe guttata) moving ...
متن کاملFunctional Egg Immunoglobulins in the snake Elaphe guttata
Adaptive immunity, when vertically transmitted from mother to offspring, creates an essential advantage for the fitness of a species. The transfer of maternal antibodies provides a considerable degree of protection to the offspring from birth on, especially against virulent pathogens (Powell, 1987). Although it has been known since long time that birds are able to accumulate a considerable amou...
