Disease relevance of Boidae

 

High impact information on Boidae

  • In digesting pythons, the regulatory peptides neurotensin, somatostatin, motilin, and vasoactive intestinal peptide occur largely in the stomach, GIP and glucagon in the pancreas, and CCK and substance P in the small intestine [2].
  • For two weeks after feeding we quantified the CO2 exhaled by pythons and determined its isotopic 13C/12C signature [3].
  • Luminal nutrient signals for intestinal adaptation in pythons [4].
  • Normally sighted Burmese pythons exhibited average targeting angle of zero (on the midline axis of the head), but three unilaterally anophthalmic Burmese pythons targeted preferentially on the sighted side [5].
  • Pharmacokinetics and tissue concentrations of azithromycin in ball pythons (Python regius) [6].
 

Associations of Boidae with chemical compounds

  • CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Azithromycin is well absorbed and tolerated by ball pythons [6].
  • There were no significant differences in hematologic values in samples from pythons collected in heparin or EDTA at any time point [7].
  • A new dosing schedule for gentamicin in blood pythons (Python curtus): a pharmacokinetic study [8].
  • Six pythons received a single i.m. injection of enrofloxacin at 5 mg/kg [9].
  • Therefore, amikacin (3.48 mg/kg) administered i.m. to ball pythons should produce maximum serum concentrations against most pathogenic bacteria [10].
