Detection of Mycoplasma pulmonis in cilia-associated respiratory bacillus isolates and in respiratory tracts of rats by nested PCR.

abstract：:Metarhizium viride has been associated with fatal systemic mycoses in chameleons, but subsequent data on mycoses caused by this fungus in reptiles are lacking. The aim of this investigation was therefore to obtain information on the presence of M. viride in reptiles kept as pets in captivity and its association with c...
