- Multiple diagnostic modalities are appropriate for detecting Nannizziopsis guarroi in experimentally infected bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps)
Amanda D. Wong, Laura A. Adamovicz, Jacob P. Dalen et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2025-09 · open access
Introduction Nannizziopsis guarroi causes mycotic dermatitis, colloquially known as “yellow fungus disease”, in lizards. Several fungal diagnostic assays may detect this microbe in clinical cases, but the clinical performance of these assays has yet to be explored. Methods Six adult bearded dragons…

Dawson NJ, Hernandez-Gonzalez M, Monaghan P et al. · FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology · 2025-09 · open access
Most animals experience abrupt developmental transitions involving major tissue remodeling, but the links with metabolic changes remain poorly understood. We examined ontogenetic changes in mitochondrial volume, oxidative capacity, oxygen consumption capacity, and anaerobic capacity across four…
