2024 Author: Molly Page | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-17 15:30
Description: Amphibian rhinitis (rhinitis; rhinitis, syn. Runny nose) - inflammation of the nasal mucosa.
Causes: mechanical trauma to the mucous membrane of the nasal passages by small dust particles, malnutrition with a lack of vitamin A, hypothermia.
Symptoms: Opening of the mouth (yawning), wheezing or blistering of the nostrils, discharge from the nostrils and eyes, congestion of the nostrils, difficult and audible breathing, when swimming, the amphibian holds the body at an unusual angle.
Diagnosis: The symptoms of respiratory infections are similar to those of pneumonia.
Treatment: the amphibian is placed in a warm, dry, well-ventilated container. For severe cases, antibiotics such as Tylosin are used. In doubtful cases, vitamin A is injected once at a dose of not more than 100 thousand IU. (usually 1 thousand m. e.) and washed the nasal passages. The nasal passages are washed with a syringe and any catheter slightly smaller in diameter than the diameter of the animal's nostril.

Chytridiomycosis In Amphibians
Description: chytrid fungi (mostly aquatic organisms) are a group of lower fungi of microscopic size and primitive organization, mostly unicellular and mononuclear, living parasitically, and sometimes saprophytic on various aquatic plants, especially on algae, as well as on small aquatic animals
Class Amphibians, Or Amphibians (Amphibia)
Amphibians, or amphibians, are the first terrestrial vertebrates that still retain significant connections with the aquatic environment. In most species, eggs (eggs) are devoid of dense membranes and can only develop in water. Each egg is surrounded by a transparent mucous membrane that swells in water
Tailless Amphibians, Or Amphibians (Anura)
Despite the large number of species - about 2100, the general appearance and structure of tailless amphibians are of the same type : the neck is not expressed, the wide head imperceptibly passes into a short, slightly flattened body; adults have no tail; the hind limbs are 2-3 times longer than the front ones, have an additional section - the tarsus
Not Only Animals Suffer From Fungal Infections, But Also Humans
Fungal infections of the skin are among the most common diseases in humans and animals. Microsporia and trichophytosis, conventionally united by the concept of "ringworm", often occur in humans upon contact with sick animals (cats and dogs)
The Simplest, Or Protozoal Infections In Amphibians
Description: Protozoa are ubiquitous. The type of protozoa unites about 30 thousand species. Of these, 7 thousand are parasitic forms.Aquatic amphibians are susceptible to infections caused by protozoa - trichodina (Trichodina - round ciliated protozoa), bones (Costia necatrix), oodiniums (Oodinium) and suvoys (Vorticella - ciliates)
