Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a major threat to global public health, impacting both human and animal health. Genomic characterization is important for arboviruses because it allows for an understanding of their evolution and improves timely outbreak and epidemic response. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing and computational analyses to characterize the genomes and evolution of 46 previously unsequenced or partially sequenced arbovirus isolates collected across 23 countries between 1954 and 1984.

Epoxiconazole (EPX) is widely applied to control various fungal diseases in crops. However, the toxicological effects of EPX on reptiles remain unknown, especially at the enantiomer level. In this study, lizards were repeatedly exposed to rac-EPX, (+)-EPX, and (-)-EPX at doses of 10 and 100 mg/kg bw for 21 days.

In April 2024, CDC's PulseNet identified a cluster of seven Salmonella Cotham cases from five states. Isolates were highly related by whole genome sequencing (WGS), and one patient reported contact with a pet bearded dragon. CDC initiated a multistate investigation and as of December 10, 2024, an additional 19 cases had been identified, for a total of 26 confirmed cases from 13 states; state public health partners identified one probable case in an additional state for a total of 27 cases.

The assessment of the urogenital tract is of great importance in the diagnosis of diseases in lizards, and sonographic examination is the most suitable imaging method for this purpose. However, reference data are not available for most of the commonly kept species. The objective of this prospective anatomical analytical study was to sonographically examine the urogenital tract of four of the most commonly kept lizard species and compare their kidneys, testes, and ovaries.

The rete testis forms from the mesonephric tubules in a series of interconnected channels in which spermatozoa travel in a high volume of fluid between the seminiferous tubules and efferent ductules. Cystic rete testis can be identified by uni- or multilocular cysts with a wall lined by low cuboidal epithelial cells and a dense fibrous stroma. An 11-year-old male central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) was evaluated for a coelomic mass.
