Is Mycoplasma iguanae proven to be the cause of multifocal abscesses in coccygeal and thoracic vertebrae in green iguanas?
|
No.
Experimental infection did NOT produce these lesions. Unlikely to be an agent of acute disease in iguanas. |

|
Is Morganella morganii the etiology of aural abscesses in eastern box turtles?
|
No, it was the only species isolated from the tympanic cavity in 2/8 turtles with aural abscesses. But no single bacterial agent was responsible.
Hypothesis: aerobic bacteria as secondary opportunistic invaders of environmental origin. |

1. What is probably the most important infectious etiology for granulomatous inflammation in reptiles?
2. Is Chlamydophila pneumoniae considered an etiological agent of granulomatous lesions of reptiles? |
1. Mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MOTT).
2. Yes. NB both are zoonotic |

Relationship between "Burmese star tortoise ranavirus" and disease in western ornate box turtles and red-eared sliders?
|
Only after i.m. injection, not after oral!
- fibrinoid vasculitis splenic ellipsoids - multifocal hepatic necrosis - multifocal fibrin thrombi in liver/kidney/lung * TEM: virus observed in necrotic cells of spleen. |

What are particularities of chelonians in the presentation of metabolic bone disease?
|
- osteopenia: especially shell
- chelonians don't form the prominent compensatory fibrous tissue response seen in other reptiles, birds and mammals |

"Lung, eye and trachea disease" (LET) in older green turtles, with respiratory and conjunctival lesions:
etiology? |
herpesvirus

Adenovirus of bearded dragons:
lesions? |
- hepatomegaly
- necrotizing hepatitis with INIB - inclusions in enterocytes also common. |

Retrospective study reptile neoplasia:
For the following animals, mention the percentage of neoplasms that were malignant and whether there is organ predilection: 1. chelonians 2. lizards 3. snakes |
1. 66 % malignant, no organ predilection
2. 73 % malignant, liver 3. 80 % malignant, liver |

West Nile virus in farmed American alligators:
- lesions? - distribution antigen? - distribution viral loads? - plasma virus titer above threshold for infecting Culex quinquifasciatus? |
- heterophilic to lymplas meningoenc'itis, necr hepatitis and splenitis, pancr necrosis, myoc degen+necr, mild interst pneum, heteroph necr stomatitis, glossitis.
- Ag most intense staining IHC in liver, pancreas, spleen, brain. - load highest in liver, lowest in CNS. - titer high enough -> may serve as a vertebrate amplifying host. |

Histo changes in tympanic membrane of Eastern box turtles with aural abscesses?
|
- hyperplasia
- squamous metaplasia - hyperemia - cellular sloughing - granulomatous inflammation - bacterial infection More severe in animals and tympanic cavities with abscesses than without. May involve hypovitaminosis A. |
