Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.0K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Lampbrush Chromosomes

In 1882, Flemming observed lampbrush chromosomes (LBC) in salamander eggs. Later in 1892, Rückert observed LBCs in shark egg cells and coined the term "lampbrush chromosomes" because they looked like brushes used to clean kerosene lamps.
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Amphibian Medicine
  • Herpetology

Background:

  • Amphibians commonly suffer from diverse skin disorders.
  • Many amphibian skin conditions share similar external appearances.
  • Captive husbandry practices are frequently implicated in amphibian skin diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the primary conditions in amphibian dermatology.
  • To highlight common clinical presentations of amphibian skin disorders.
  • To emphasize the importance of diagnostic procedures in amphibian skin disease.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on amphibian dermatology.
  • Emphasis on diagnostic steps including environmental evaluation, history, and physical examination.
  • Discussion of laboratory techniques such as direct observation, histology, PCR, and cultures.

Main Results:

  • Common clinical signs include hyperemia, discoloration, dermal masses, ulceration, and necrosis.
  • Many diseases stem from suboptimal captive environments and husbandry.
  • A systematic diagnostic approach is crucial for accurate identification.

Conclusions:

  • Amphibian dermatology requires a thorough diagnostic workup.
  • Understanding husbandry's role is key to managing skin diseases.
  • This review provides a foundation for diagnosing common amphibian skin conditions.
