“…About the results of white blood series, some studies suggest that stressors usually suppress immune system. A decrease in leukocyte populations, indicating susceptibility to infections was found in metamorphosing individuals (Kolias 1984, Ussing & Rosenkilde 1995. Specifically, lymphocytes and neutrophils were demonstrated to decrease midclimax of metamorphosis (Ussing & Rosenkilde 1995).…”

Pesq. Vet. Bras. 32(Supl. The aim of this study was to evaluate alterations to the physiological profile (cortisol, glycaemia, and blood parameters) of Lithobates catesbeianus caused by the stressors density and hypoxia. The organisms were in the prometamorphosis stage and exposed to different tadpole densities: 1 tadpole/L (T1), 5 tadpoles/L (T2), and 10 tadpoles/L (T3) for 12 days. The blood was collected through the rupture of the caudal blood vessel and collected under normoxia (immediate collection) and hypoxia (after 15 minutes of air exposure) conditions. Cortisol levels rose on the fourth and eighth days of treatment and returned to basal levels by the end of the experiment. The stressor mechanisms tested did not affect glycaemia. White blood cells (total number of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils) showed a significant difference at the twelfth day of the experiment when compared with the start of the experiment. We concluded that, under controlled conditions, a density of up to 10 tadpoles/L and air exposure for 15 minutes did not cause harmful physiological alterations during the experimental period. The answer to these stressors maybe was in another hormonal level (corticosterone).

“…Two classes of immunoglobulins IgM and a non-IgM (IgY)-the homolog of IgA found in mammals-have been described [51], the syntheses of which are temperature dependent [52][53][54][55][56]. Immunoglobulin classes of IgA, IgD, and IgE have not been identified in reptiles [57].…”

Medicinal plants have represented accessible and highly bioavailable remedies in traditional therapeutic and preventive practices of numerous populations worldwide. Veterinary treatments based on medicinal plants are also widespread, mainly targeting the control or prevention of parasitic diseases. Scientific support of the immune-stimulating efficacy of plants or their extracts in animals is less documented. The immunological activity of alcoholic plant extracts was investigated in numerous animal classes, starting from Pisces, through Reptilia and Aves and reaching Mammalia, envisaging their effects on innate and adaptive cell-mediated immunity, which the authors mean to share in this chapter, also providing a comparison of variable reactivity within and between the classes.

“…Humoral factors (lysozyme, a system of complementary interferon-like factors and transferrins), cell factors (englobing cells -heterophils and other granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages) and NK-cells are congenital factors of reptile immunity. T-and B-like lymphocytes and various classes of immunoglobulins are factors in the adaptive immunity of reptiles: M, Y, at some X [1,2,11,12]. A decrease in immunologic indexes upon the use of anthelmintics containing ivermektins and avermektins was shown in mammals (rabbits, mice and calfs) [9].…”

Sheltopusik lizards (Pseudopus apodus) are natural carriers of the nematode Entomelas sp., which are capable of striking the majority of lizard species, quite often causing their deaths. In this article, the parameters of the immune status of the sheltopusik lizard with helminthiasis are described, as are the changes when deworming is performed with the medicine "Reptilife-plus" and immunocorrections with the medicine Immunofan.
