| splenic immunotoxicity in developing cane toads (rhinella marina) from bermuda. | the impacts of contaminated sediment from 2 ponds in bermuda on immune function in newly metamorphosed cane toads were examined. in the present study, a partial life-cycle experiment exposing gosner stage 20 cane toad tadpoles to pond sediment and laboratory culture water through metamorphosis and into a juvenile state was performed. a basic immunology battery, including general necropsy, spleen somatic index, spleen white pulp content, splenocyte tissue density, and splenocyte viability, was co ... | 2016 | 26991249 |
| effects of multiple chemical, physical, and biological stressors on the incidence and types of abnormalities observed in bermuda's cane toads (rhinella marina). | the interactive effects of contaminants and ultraviolet light (uv)-exposure on the incidence and types of abnormalities observed were measured in newly metamorphosed cane toads (rhinella marina) from four bermuda ponds contaminated with petrochemicals and metals. abnormalities were compared in toadlets that were field-collected, reared in predator exclusion cages, reared in laboratory microcosms exposed to control media or corresponding pond media, and reared in laboratory microcosms exposed to ... | 2013 | 23526808 |
| role of environmental pollutants on immune functions, parasitic infections and limb malformations in marine toads and whistling frogs from bermuda. | soil, water, and amphibian tissues collected between 1995 and 1999 from 15 study sites in bermuda were analysed for pesticides and heavy metals. the most abundant pesticide residue in soil was p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (dde) which was found at all sites in concentrations ranging from 0.003 to 4.023 p.p.m. no pesticide residues were found in water. dde was also recovered from the livers and fat bodies of marine toads (bufo marinus) and whistling frogs (eleutherodactylus johnstonei). a ... | 2003 | 12745335 |
