Fungal dermatitis associated with Nannizziopsis arthrosporioides in two diplodactylid geckos (Correlophus ciliatus and Rhacodactylus auriculatus)
Open accessAbstract
This report describes fungal dermatitis in a breeding colony of diplodactylid geckos (Correlophus ciliatus and Rhacodactylus auriculatus). Following the introduction of one gecko, the introduced gecko and two with indirect contact died with severe skin lesions. Subsequently, four geckos developed diarrhea, melena, emaciation, and dermatitis and died. Histopathologically, all cases showed necrotizing dermatitis with filamentous fungi. Nannizziopsis arthrosporioides was isolated and identified from two geckos, and these two animals were definitively diagnosed with a fatal cutaneous fungal infection caused by N. arthrosporioides. This is the first report of such cases in diplodactylid geckos in Japan. From an epidemiological perspective, we inferred that an outbreak caused by this fungus had occurred in a colony.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
