| cutaneous mycoses in chameleons caused by the chrysosporium anamorph of nannizziopsis vriesii (apinis) currah. | a dermatophyte-like fungus was isolated from skin biopsies of three different species of captive chameleon in which fungal elements had been observed by histologic examination. an adult parson's chameleon (chamaeleo parsonii) presented with vesicles that became crusty brown lesions on the limbs and body. skin biopsies revealed fungal hyphae in the affected epidermis and underlying dermis. the lesions regressed fully after oral administration of itraconazole. an adult jewel chameleon (chamaeleo l ... | 1997 | 9523639 |
| six new species of coccidia (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from east african chameleons (sauria: chamaeleonidae). | coprological examination of 83 east african chameleon specimens revealed 32.5% prevalence of coccidian parasites. six species are described as new: eimeria tilburyi n. sp. from chamaeleo jacksonii has cylindrical oocysts, 28.9 (26-33) x 16.0 (14-18) microm and occasionally a small polar granule. sporocysts are oval to ellipsoidal, 10.6 (9-12) x 7.2 (6-8) microm, without stieda and substieda bodies; endogenous stages were found in the gall bladder. oocysts of eimeria largeni n. sp. from chamaeleo ... | 2000 | 10780560 |
| partial characterization of new adenoviruses found in lizards. | in the years 2011-2012, a consensus nested polymerase chain reaction was used for the detection of adenovirus (adv) infection in reptiles. during this screening, three new advs were detected. one of these viruses was detected in three lizards from a group of green striped tree dragons (japalura splendida). another was detected in a green anole (anolis carolinensis). a third virus was detected in a jackson's chameleon (chamaeleo jacksonii). analysis of a portion of the dna-dependent dna polymeras ... | 2014 | 25000689 |
| comparative study of the innervation patterns of the hyobranchial musculature in three iguanian lizards: sceloporus undulatus, pseudotrapelus sinaitus, and chamaeleo jacksonii. | the neuroanatomy and musculature of the hyobranchial system was studied in three species of iguanian lizards: sceloporus undulatus, pseudotrapelus sinaitus, and chamaeleo jacksonii. the goal of this study was to describe and compare the innervation and arrangement of the hyobranchial musculature in the context of its function during tongue protrusion. a comparison of the hyobranchial innervation patterns revealed a relatively conserved innervation pattern in s. undulatus and p. sinaitus, and a m ... | 2002 | 11997887 |
| comparative study of tongue protrusion in three iguanian lizards, sceloporus undulatus, pseudotrapelus sinaitus and chamaeleo jacksonii. | the goal of this study was to investigate the function of the hyolingual muscles used during tongue protraction in iguanian lizards. high-speed videography and nerve-transection techniques were used to study prey capture in the iguanid sceloporus undulatus, the agamid pseudoptrapelus sinaitus and the chameleonid chamaeleo jacksonii. denervation of the mandibulohyoideus muscle slips had an effect only on p. sinaitus and c. jacksonii, in which tongue protrusion or projection distance was reduced. ... | 2000 | 10952882 |
| the atlas-axis complex in chamaeleonids (squamata: chamaeleonidae), with description of a new anatomical structure of the skull. | the comparative vertebral morphology of different chamaeleonid genera has been generally neglected and some aspects such as the comparative anatomy of the neck region remain poorly known. the atlas and axis of all chamaeleonid genera (brookesia, rieppeleon, archaius, rhampholeon, nadzikambia, bradypodion, chamaeleo, calumma, furcifer, kinyongia, and trioceros) are studied here. considerable morphological differences are revealed. additionally, some taxa exhibit sexual dimorphism in the atlas and ... | 2014 | 24482363 |
| activity monitoring and motion classification of the lizard chamaeleo jacksonii using multiple doppler radars. | we describe a simple, non-contact and efficient tool for monitoring the natural activity of a small lizard (chamaeleo jacksonii) to yield valuable information about their metabolic activity and energy expenditure. it allows monitoring in a non-confined laboratory environment and uses multiple doppler radars operating at 10.525 ghz. we developed a classification algorithm that can differentiate between fidgeting and locomotion by processing the quadrature baseband signals from the radars. the res ... | 2012 | 23366934 |
| a data efficient method for characterization of chameleon tongue motion using doppler radar. | a new technique is described for study of the study of high velocity animal movements using a continuous wave doppler radar operating at 24 ghz. the movement studied was tongue projection kinematics during prey capture by the lizard chamaeleo jacksonii. the measurements were verified with a high speed video reference, recorded at 1000 frames per second. the limitations and advantages of both the methodologies are compared and tongue speeds of 3:65 m/s were observed. these results show a useful a ... | 2012 | 23365957 |
