Iguana virus, a herpes-like virus isolated from cultured cells of a lizard, Iguana iguana.
An agent cytopathic for Terrapene and Iguana cell cultures was isolated from spontaneously degenerating cell cultures prepared from a green iguana (Iguana iguana). The agent, designated iguana virus, caused a cytopathic effect (CPE) of a giant cell type, with eosinophilic inclusions commonly observed within giant cell nuclei. Incubation temperature had a marked effect on CPE and on virus releas...
متن کاملCirculatory impairment induced by exercise in the lizard Iguana iguana.
Mechanical integration of the cardiac, muscular and ventilatory pumps enables mammals to vary cardiac output over a wide range to match metabolic demands. We have found this integration lacking in a lizard (Iguana iguana) that differs from mammals because blood flow from the caudal body and ventilation are maximal after, rather than during, exercise. Because Iguana iguana are constrained from v...
متن کاملGastrointestinal obstruction caused by a radiolucent foreign body in a green iguana (Iguana Iguana).

متن کاملLung hemorrhage in a green iguana (Iguana iguana) with chronic metabolic failure: a case report
A six year old male iguana (Iguana iguana) was brought to our clinic after a fall from a height of 1.5 meters. The patient showed apathy, dehydration, and paresis of all the limbs. Postural reflexes, palpebral reflex, and response to painful stimuli were minimal. The patient had extremely high levels of uric acid (1 734.0 μmol/l) and phosphorus (9.80 mmol/l), ratio of calcium to phosphorus (0.1...
متن کاملVentilatory action of the hypaxial muscles of the lizard Iguana iguana: a function of slow muscle.
Patterns of muscle activity during lung ventilation, patterns of innervation and some contractile properties were measured in the hypaxial muscles of green iguanas. Electromyography shows that only four hypaxial muscles are involved in breathing. Expiration is produced by two deep hypaxial muscles, the transversalis and the retrahentes costarum. Inspiration is produced by the external and inter...
