Reptile-associated salmonellosis (RAS) has been considered a threat to public health since the 1970’s, and a wide range of restrictions and measures have been suggested and in some cases implemented over the years in different countries around the world in order to mitigate the associated risk.

Feeder rodents, reptiles, and amphibians can naturally carry Salmonella in their intestines and show no signs of illness. The animals shed the bacteria in their feces and, in turn, the feces...

Reptiles such as turtles, lizards, and snakes and amphibians such as frogs can have Salmonella bacteria on their bodies, even when they are healthy and look clean. The germs also get on the animal's tank and other things the animal touches.

2009年12月11日 · Q: How do amphibians and reptiles spread Salmonella to people? A: Amphibians and reptiles can harbor Salmonella bacteria in their intestinal tract (gut), and can pass (shed) the bacteria in their feces (stool) off and on or continuously.

All reptiles and amphibians should be considered potential carriers of Salmonella. The organism is shed in feces of reptiles and amphibians and, if ingested by humans, may result in a potentially serious illness.

Salmonella spp. carriage appears to be highly prevalent in reptiles. Reptiles should be considered to be nonclinical carriers of Salmonella spp. The organism is intermittently or continuously shed in their feces and, if ingested by humans, may result in a potentially serious illness.

Salmonella bacteria are naturally found in the gastrointestinal tract of wild and captive reptiles, including snakes, lizards, tortoises and turtles. The Salmonella spp. most commonly isolated from reptiles are not often found in

2013年1月23日 · Salmonella spp. have been found in in a wide variety of reptiles including various snakes, lizards, chelonians (turtles, tortoises), and crocodilians. They have also been detected in some amphibians, such as frogs, toads and newts. Some animals appear more likely to carry certain organisms than others.

tinely isolated from apparently healthy reptiles, how- ever, Salmonella can also cause significant pathology in reptiles. This article will present an overview of the current literature. The major concern facing most vet- erinarians working with reptiles is handling reptile-as- sociated salmonellosis (RAS).

2023年9月26日 · Salmonella are considered a part of the normal reptile gut microbiota, but have also been associated with disease in reptiles. Reptile-associated salmonellosis (RAS) can pose a serious health threat to humans, especially children, and an estimated 6% of human sporadic salmonellosis cases have …
