| identification of major lipids from the scent gland secretions of dumeril's ground boa (acrantophis dumerili jan) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. | the scent gland secretions of dumeril's ground boa (acrantophis dumerili), pooled from two adult males and a female, were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 2-hydroxy-propanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, cis-9-octadecenoic acid, octadecanoic acid, cholesterol, and 5-cholesten-3-one were indicated. these results are compared with those obtained in analyses of the scent gland secretions of other snakes. | 1988 | 3245880 |

| detection of papillomavirus dna in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and multiple papillomas in captive reptiles. | papillomaviruses (pvs) are small, non-enveloped dna viruses that cause mucocutaneous tumours including squamous cell carcinoma (scc) in man. in animals, evidence supports a causal role for pvs in the development of cutaneous and oral scc in some species. in reptiles, three cases of papilloma or fibropapilloma have been associated with pv infection, but no association has been reported to date with scc. two cases of cutaneous epithelial tumours, multiple papillomas in a spiny-tailed lizard (uroma ... | 2017 | 28735666 |
