Abstract:
Reptiles are one of the most popular exotic pets in the world, with over a third of all described species currently being traded. However, the most commonly available reptiles are typically non-threatened, captive-bred, and/or domestically obtained, which means they are also largely unregulated and unmonitored, resulting in a large portion of the reptile pet trade remaining unknown. In this study, the past, current, and future trends of the most popular reptiles in the pet trade were examined. Google Trends was used to determine the global popularity of the most popular pets from 2004 to 2020 and compared to the results from an online survey sent to individuals involved in the reptile trade. The most popular pets from the previous five years were also compared globally across regions and countries. The results determined that the most popular reptile species during the last decade is by far bearded dragons, followed by ball pythons and leopard geckos. Although the survey results were similar when asked what the top reptiles were, most respondents named ball pythons as the most popular reptile. However, when asked what reptiles had lost the most popularity during the previous decade, the survey respondents named green iguanas, Burmese pythons, chameleons, red-eared sliders, and green anoles, concurring with what was found with Google Trends. The reptiles thought to be more popular in the upcoming decade by the survey participants were blue-tongued skinks, tegus, uromastyx, crested geckos, and ball pythons—most of which did indeed show an increase in popularity during the last decade, as indicated with Google Trends. The results from Google Trends demonstrated that ball pythons and crested geckos have increased their popularity more than any other reptile in the last two decades. Reptile popularity also differed between countries, with bearded dragons the most popular reptile in Australia, Western Europe, the U.S., and Canada. Leopard geckos were the most popular reptile in Italy and Turkey, and ball pythons were the reptile of choice in Mexico, Indonesia, and India. The general finding of this study is that the reptiles declining in popularity were mostly wild-caught or restricted due to regulations, while current and future species were captive-bred and available in many varieties or morphs. The most popular species were also docile, medium-sized, and easy to handle, with relatively simple care requirements. This study demonstrates that Google Trends can be a useful tool for determining relative popularity among reptiles, or any other pet group, with results closely mirroring those obtained through direct surveying of people involved in the pet trade. However, unlike surveys, this analysis is quick, quantifiable, and can show what is popular and in-demand not only at the global level but at much finer scales. Thus, Google Trends can be a valuable tool in many research applications, especially in topics that may otherwise be difficult to monitor and quantify.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of deslorelin acetate in the regulation of reproductive activity in captive leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius). Fourteen healthy adult females were separated into two groups. Under general anaesthesia, deslorelin acetate implants (4.7 mg) or placebo implants were administered into the coelom of ten female geckos and four female geckos, respectively. One healthy adult male Leopard gecko was added to each group of females (five females with GnRH implants and two females with placebo implants). The geckos were regularly monitored over two breeding seasons (visual examination, weight control). Nesting sites were checked daily. There were no postoperative complications or any other health problems during the study. Implant administration did not result in long-term suppression of reproductive function. No significant differences were found in the number of clutches between the female groups (deslorelin implants versus placebo implants) or in the number of clutches between the two breeding seasons. Deslorelin acetate implants did not interfere with ovarian activity in captive female leopard geckos. The use of GnRH agonist implants is not an appropriate method for control of reproductive function in female leopard geckos.

Abstract:
AbstractMuch is known about the abilities of various taxa concerning discrimination of species, sex, familiarity-based discrimination and individual discrimination. However, literature pertaining to the precision of discrimination within lizard taxa assumes that discrimination between familiar and unfamiliar individuals can be extrapolated to include individual discrimination between two familiar individuals. The present study had two aims. First, we determined that male leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) can concurrently become familiar with two different females and discriminate those females from a novel female. Second, we investigated the ability of male leopard geckos to distinguish between two familiar females using a habituation-dishabituation paradigm. Males habituated to the presence of the first female, exhibited by decreased typical courtship behaviours directed towards that female. Male courtship behaviours, however, were reinstated upon introduction of the second familiar female. These results indicate that males possess the ability to discriminate between two familiar females and adjust their courtship efforts appropriately.

Abstract:
Though most dentate vertebrates replace their teeth at least once in the course of their lives, the process of tooth replacement is poorly understood. This is mainly because the major tooth development model is the mouse which only has one generation of teeth. Our previous work suggested that tooth renewal in geckos might involve dental epithelial stem cells and that these putative stem cells become transit- amplifying cells when exposed to canonical WNTs. Here we further investigate this idea using adult leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius). To further previous findings from our lab that the dental apparatus is a WNT responsive tissue we perturbed the WNT pathway by agonist and antagonist organ cultures of oral tissue explants. BIO stimulated proliferation at an intermediate concentration of 20 μM but not at higher or lower concentrations. This suggests that in vivo, cells are responding to gradients of WNT activity. We also looked at associated BMP and FGF pathways via in situ histology and organ culture manipulation respectively and found alternating patterns of gene expression. We then mapped areas of high canonical WNT signaling and found that nuclear staining for phospho beta catenin was principally found in the outer enamel epithelium and successional lamina. We moved to an in vivo strategy to allow for better tissue survival. Palatal injections of LiCl or the control reagent NaCl were delivered to the base of the maxillary teeth. We found that LiCl increased proliferation in the successional lamina and cervical loops, areas that normally have higher proliferation. We conclude that certain regions of the dental epithelium are sensitive to change in canonical WNT signaling and that this signaling is potentially kept to a localized region via BMP inhibition of the WNT pathway. Regions of the dental lamina that contain putative stem cells may require signals in addition to WNTs to stimulate the formation of transit amplifying cells. Future work will further elucidate the many signaling cascades required for tooth succession to occur.

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária
Durante as últimas décadas, os répteis têm aumentado a sua popularidade como animais de estimação por todo o mundo, reflectindo-se este fenómeno num aumento do número de espécies disponíveis nas lojas de animais, bem como no número crescente de criadores destes animais por hobby ou com objectivos comerciais. Neste contexto, um rastreio de parasitas gastrointestinais foi efectuado a uma colecção de geckos-leopardos e répteis tidos como animais de estimação. As amostras recolhidas foram analisadas utilizando métodos coprológicos de flutuação, sedimentação, Mcmaster e esfregaço fecal. Relativamente à colecção privada de geckos-leopardo, foram analisadas um total de 49 amostras fecais para a presença de parasitas gastrointestinais. A prevalência de amostras positivas da população foi estimada entre 61,1 e 85,9%. Em todas as amostras positivas foram detectados ovos de vários géneros da superfamília Oxyuroidea (Pharyngodon sp., Ozolaimus sp. e um género não identificado), sendo que em aproximadamente 22,4% das amostras foi detectada também a presença do protozoário Nyctotherus sp. A eficácia do método da fita-cola para pesquisa de oxiurídeos foi testada em 20 animais, tendo sido determinada uma sensibilidade entre 4,9 – 49,3% e uma especificidade entre 25,5 – 100% face ao esfregaço fecal usado como gold standard. No âmbito de um rastreio parasitológico gastrointestinal realizado a répteis tidos como animais de estimação no norte de Portugal foram analisados um total de 28 amostras (correspondentes a 16 quelónios, 4 sáurios e 8 ofídios), tendo sido realizado também um pequeno questionário aos donos com o objectivo de apurar a origem dos animais e condições gerais de maneio. No total das amostras analisadas, foram encontradas formas parasitárias em 16 amostras (cerca de 57,1%). Quatro grupos de endoparasitas (nemátodes oxiurídeos (N=6), Nyctotherus sp. (N=5), amebas (N=4) e flagelados (N=3) de géneros não identificadas) foram detectados em 13 (81,3%) dos 16 quelónios participantes. Nos 4 sáurios, 2 grupos de endoparasitas (nemátodes oxiurídeos (N=3) e Nyctotherus sp. (N=1)) foram encontrados em 3 animais. Nas amostras dos 8 ofídios participantes não foram detectadas quaisquer formas parasitárias nas técnicas coprológicas realizadas. Sendo este o primeiro estudo parasitológico realizado em répteis de estimação em Portugal, os resultados obtidos evidenciam a importância do parasitismo em répteis em cativeiro e a necessidade de estudos futuros mais aprofundados sobre a fauna parasitológica destes animais e seu possível impacto na Saúde Pública e Animal.

Abstract:
Devido à popularização de Geckos como pets e a falta de informação dos tutores, a incidência de problemas relacionados ao manejo sanitário e alimentar tem aumentado. Poucos relatos foram descritos sobre a ingestão de corpos estranhos e os seus devidos tratamentos em Geckos, o que torna relevante a descrição deste caso para um maior conhecimento acerca do manejo e das técnicas terapêuticas nessa espécie. Um Gecko Leopardo, sem sexo definido, com 7 meses de idade, pesando 29 gramas, vivia em um terrário, com papel toalha como substrato, condições de temperatura (25-30ºC), sem fonte de luz e umidade (50%), alimentado com presas vivas suplementadas com cálcio e vitamina D3. Segundo a tutora, o animal encontrava-se sem comer e com ausência de fezes a 2 dias. No exame físico apresentava-se apático e cavidade celómica encontrava-se dilatada com presença de conteúdo nodular firme palpável na região caudolateral. O paciente foi internado e submetido a tratamento médico com dose inicial de Lactulona de 0,5 ml/kg SID, Metroclopramida oral 0,7ml/kg SID, banho morno por 15 minutos TID. No quarto dia de internação foi adicionado a massagem com vibrador TID, aumentado para 230 ml/kg a dose da Lactulona e realizado fluidoterapia com Ringer Lactato na dose de 10% do peso do paciente. Em menos de 24 horas, após as mudanças no tratamento, o paciente defecou. No dia seguinte foi realizado exame radiográfico e foi adicionado cálcio oral na dose de 37ml/kg. No sétimo dia foi realizado a lactulona BID. No oitavo dia o paciente defecou, foi identificado papel toalha como corpo estranho. O paciente alimentou-se sozinho e recebeu alta no décimo dia após a realização de outro exame radiográfico. Os exames radiograficos foram realizados para diagnóstico e acompanhamento clínico do paciente no qual o primeiro havia conteúdo heterogênio em região de estômago e intestino. Nos dias seguintes houve diminuição significativa do conteúdo intraluminal de alças intestinais. A impactação por corpo estranho é um problema comum na clínica de répteis por estar diretamente relacionada ao manejo ambiental inadequado e deficiência nutricional destes animais. A ingestão de substrato utilizado no terrário é considerada uma das principais causas de estase no trato gastrointestinal, e consequentemente ocasionar problemas mais graves de quadros de obstrução (1). O tratamento medicamentoso juntamente com banho de água morna e a realização de massagem com vibrador foram eficazes para a eliminação do corpo estranho sem intervenção cirúrgica. Utilização de parelho vibratório em relato de constipação de Dragão-Barbudo também se mostrou eficaz no tratamento (2). Referências bibliográficas: 1. Mader DR. Reptile Medicine and Surgery. 2nd Ed.
