Kim S, Kim Y, Jo Y et al. · Frontiers in veterinary science · 2026-05 · open access
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is a malignant neoplasm of mesenchymal origin characterized by osteoid or immature bone production and is rarely reported in reptiles. A 3-month-old Argentine black and white tegu presented with a subcutaneous mass on the left flank, approximately 2 months after a dog bite.…
- Case Report: Anesthesia for cloacal prolapse fixation surgery in an Argentine black and white tegu ( Salvator merianae ).
Liu Y, Zhu L, Yan M et al. · Frontiers in veterinary science · 2026-03 · open access
Cloacal prolapse is a common surgical condition in captive lizards and frequently requires general anesthesia. Anesthetic management in reptiles is challenging because of their ectothermic physiology, intermittent breathing patterns, and high sensitivity to anesthetic-induced respiratory…

- Efficacy of increased visual and olfactory cues for luring and trapping invasive tegu lizards
Amanda M. Kissel, Kevin Donmoyer, Mark Sandfoss et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2026-03 · open access
Controlling invasive wildlife species relies on the ability to efficiently remove individuals from the invaded environment. Thus, maximizing capture potential is of high interest, particularly for species that are difficult to capture. For invasive species such as the Argentine black and white tegu…

- Fat reserve and body condition variation in Argentine black and white tegus: native-invasive comparisons and environmental drivers in Florida.
Cole JM, Balaguera-Reina SA, Miller MA et al. · PloS one · 2026-02 · open access
Invasive species impose major ecological and economic costs on ecosystems and countries where introduced. To effectively manage Argentine black and white tegus (Salvator merianae) within their invasive range, it is important that management actions are based on species' biology. We estimated tegu…
- Influencia de las interacciones sexuales sobre la vitelogénesis en hembras de Salvator merianae en cautiverio

- Dietary breadth and ecological plasticity facilitate invasion potential in a large omnivorous lizard
Madison E. A. Harman, Nicole R. Cannarozzi, Benjamin Baiser et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2025-12 · open access
Invasive species are a widely recognized threat to ecosystems, where they can negatively affect native species through mechanisms such as predation, competition, and ecosystem modification, including altering seed dispersal. Quantifying these effects is essential to properly assess risk and inform…
