Abstract

A DeKay's brown snake (Storeria dekayi) from Georgia, USA, was found with subcutaneous nodules. Postmortem examination identified generalized microsporidiosis with concurrent ophidiomycosis. Molecular and phylogenetic characterization of the 18S gene identified the parasite as a member of the genus Vavraia, most closely related to isolates of invertebrate hosts in Japan.

期刊介绍： The JWD publishes reports of wildlife disease investigations, research papers, brief research notes, case and epizootic reports, review articles, and book reviews. The JWD publishes the results of original research and observations dealing with all aspects of infectious, parasitic, toxic, nutritional, physiologic, developmental and neoplastic diseases, environmental contamination, and other factors impinging on the health and survival of free-living or occasionally captive populations of wild animals, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Papers on zoonoses involving wildlife and on chemical immobilization of wild animals are also published. Manuscripts dealing with surveys and case reports may be published in the Journal provided that they contain significant new information or have significance for better understanding health and disease in wild populations. Authors are encouraged to address the wildlife management implications of their studies, where appropriate.
