25. Determinação do tempo do trânsito gastrointestinal em Podocnemis expansa Schweigger, 1812 (Tartaruga-da-Amazônia) (Testudines, Podocnemididae) / Determination of the gastrointestinal transit time in Podocnemis expansa Schweigger, 1812 (Amazon turtle) (Testudines, Podocnemididae)
The amazon turtle hás herb-based diet, but it can be fed with a small quantity of animal-based food. Digestion speede of these animals is influenced by both temperature and nutricion status. To understand the digestion process of food in animal organisms, studies on the gastrointestinal tract transit are necessary. The objective of this study was to determi

26. Efeitos de diferentes associações anestésicas em Tartaruga-da-Amazônia Podocnemis expansa Schweigger, 1812 (Testudines, Podocnemi-didae) criadas em cativeiro / Anesthetic effects of two protocols of the midazolam and ketamine association in amazonian river turtle podocnemis expansa schweigger, 1812 (testudines, podocnemididae) captivity
Chapter 2: Twenty Podocnemis expansa (Amazon river turtle), apparently healthy animals, weighting from 1.0 to 1.5 Kg, proceeding from a commercial bred farm in São José dos Bandeirantes district, Nova Crixás city, Goiás state, Brazil, was divided in two groups (G1, n=10 and G2, n=10). Each group received different protocol: G1 midazolam (2 mg/Kg IM) and

28. Distribuição espacial e dinâmica temporal da alga epizoária Basicladia chelonum associada ao cágado Phrynops geoffroanus no rio Uberabinha, Minas Gerais
Studies were developed about a population of Basicladia chelonum epizoic algae over the Phrynops geoffroanus turtle carapace captures in an urban area of Uberabinha River, city of Uberlândia, MG (185434,5"S e 481820,4"W). The fieldwork was accomplished during the morning, in the middle and end of each season, from August 2004 to June 2005, totalizing eight

29. Three synonymous genes encode calmodulin in a reptile, the Japanese tortoise, Clemmys japonica
Three distinct calmodulin (CaM)-encoding cDNAs were isolated from a reptile, the Japanese tortoise (Clemmys japonica), based on degenerative primer PCR. Because of synonymous codon usages, the deduced amino acid (aa) sequences were exactly the same in all three genes and identical to the aa sequence of vertebrate CaM. The three cDNAs, referred to as CaM-A, -

30. Campylobacter fetus of Reptile Origin as a Human Pathogen
A Campylobacter species was isolated from blood from a febrile patient with precursor T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and after antibiotic treatment, a similar bacterium was isolated from blood 37 days later. Although phenotypic testing did not definitively identify the organisms, molecular analysis indicated that they were the same strain of Campylobac

31. A new Triassic procolophonoid reptile and its implications for procolophonoid survivorship during the Permo-Triassic extinction event.
A reptile specimen from the Lystrosaurus Assemblage Zone of the Beaufort Group, lowermost Triassic of South Africa, represents a new procolophonoid parareptile. Sauropareion anoplus gen. et sp. nov. is identified as the sister taxon of Procolophonidae in a phylogenetic analysis of procolophonoids. Stratigraphic calibration of the most parsimonious tree revea

32. Potential role of interleukin-1 at the peri-ovulation stage in a species of placental viviparous reptile, the three-toed skink, Chalcides chalcides (squamata: scincidae)
We recently showed that interleukin-1 (IL-1) is secreted by the placenta of a species of squamate reptile, the three-toed skink, Chalcides chalcides. In this study, we used immunohistochemical techniques to investigate the expression of IL-1 (in the two isoforms, IL-1α and IL-1β) and its specific membrane receptor IL-1 RtI in uterine oviduct during the per

33. Influence of major histocompatibility complex genotype on mating success in a free-ranging reptile population
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are highly polymorphic components of the vertebrate immune system, which play a key role in pathogen resistance. MHC genes may also function as odour-related cues for mate choice, thus ensuring optimal MHC diversity in offspring. MHC-associated mate choice has been demonstrated in some fish, bird and mammal specie

34. Conservation and Diversity of sap Homologues and Their Organization among Campylobacter fetus Isolates
Campylobacter fetus surface layer proteins (SLPs), encoded by sapA homologues, are important in virulence. In wild-type C. fetus strain 23D, all eight sapA homologues are located in the 54-kb sap island, and SLP expression reflects the position of a unique sapA promoter in relation to the sapA homologues. The extensive homologies in the sap island include bo

35. Pet Snakes as a Reservoir for Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae (Serogroup IIIb): a Prospective Study
Reptile-associated Salmonella infections are an increasing problem for humans. We have prospectively screened two breeding groups of 16 pet snakes for colonization with Salmonella species. Various serovars of S. enterica subsp. diarizonae were found in 81% of the snakes. To avoid transmission, strict hygienic precautions should be applied when reptiles are h

36. Recurrent evolution of herbivory in small, cold-climate lizards: Breaking the ecophysiological rules of reptilian herbivory
Herbivory has evolved in many groups of vertebrates, but it is rare among both extinct and extant nonavian reptiles. Among squamate reptiles, (lizards, snakes, and their relatives), <2% of the >7,800 species are considered to be herbivorous, and herbivory is restricted to lizards. Here, we show that within a group of South American lizards (Liolaemidae, ≈1
