Infection in a female Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) caused by Mycobacterium intracellulare: a case report
In early 2002, a bean-like whitish nodule 2 × 1 × 1 cm in size was diagnosed on the tongue of a female Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) kept in a zoological garden in the Czech Republic. The nodule was removed at surgery and histopathological examination revealed a specific granulomatous inflammation. The granuloma contained a necrotic mass surrounded by a variable layer of palisading epithe...

متن کاملLife-History and Spatial Determinants of Somatic Growth Dynamics in Komodo Dragon Populations
Somatic growth patterns represent a major component of organismal fitness and may vary among sexes and populations due to genetic and environmental processes leading to profound differences in life-history and demography. This study considered the ontogenic, sex-specific and spatial dynamics of somatic growth patterns in ten populations of the world's largest lizard the Komodo dragon (Varanus k...
متن کاملDeathly Drool: Evolutionary and Ecological Basis of Septic Bacteria in Komodo Dragon Mouths
Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizard, dispatch their large ungulate prey by biting and tearing flesh. If a prey escapes, oral bacteria inoculated into the wound reputedly induce a sepsis that augments later prey capture by the same or other lizards. However, the ecological and evolutionary basis of sepsis in Komodo prey acquisition is controversial. Two models have been proposed. The "bac...
متن کاملHow to train your biomarker.
Type I insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor (IGF1R) inhibitors are new cancer therapies. Pitts and colleagues used in vitro data to "train" a predictive biomarker for an IGF1R tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Given the complexity of IGF signaling, additional layers of biomarker analysis will likely be needed to develop predictive factors.
