“Until now, Isospora jaracimrmani Modrý et Koudela, 1995 is the only eimerian coccidium described from C. calyptratus reported to cause serious health problems in captive animals (Modrý and Koudela 1995, 1998). Herein we describe a new, highly pathogenic species of Choleoeimeria Paperna et...

“Two recent molecular analyses of morphologically similar fungal isolates formerly grouped under the appellation "Chrysosporium anamorph of Nannizziopsis vriesii (CANV) complex" led to major taxonomic revisions and revealed new insights into the biology of these reptile pathogens.”…...

“We found that supplementary leptin rescued immune function in calorie-restricted, trained lizards, but reproduction was not rescued in males or females. This suggests that immune function and reproduction have different sensitivities to leptin in both sexes, or that reproduction is more energy...

“Our data reveal substantial variation among chameleon species in head morphology, limb and tail length, and dorsal crest development. Almost all variables increase interspecifically with body size; when size effects are removed, two patterns are evident. First, all traits within a functional...
