A small survey of faecal bacteria from six species of reptile on West Java and the Krakatau Islands showed that species of Citrobacter were present in 17 out of 19 individual reptiles sampled. Species of Enterobacter, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas were also common but Escherichia coli was rare (present in only 2 out of 19 individual reptiles). Streptococcus faecalis was not detected in any reptile. Species of Pseudomonas were not detected in the faeces of any of the three gecko species sampled ( Gekko gecko, Gekko monarchus and Hemidactylus frenatus ), although they were detected in samples from the other three reptile species ( Mabuia multifasciata, Chrysopelea paradisi and Varanus salvtor ). Species of Citrobacter and Pseudomonas were more common and E. coli less common in reptiles than in mammals (rats and bats) living in the same area. The antibiotic-resistance patterns of the Citrobacter species were not significantly different between islands of the Krakatau group. Citrobacter species from reptiles were more resistant to chloramphenicol (43 % resistant) than those from mammals (8 % resistant). None of the isolates of Klebsiella and E. coli from reptiles was resistant to tetracycline.

Wet And Dry Seasons

Three species of Digenea were found in collections of seven species of lizards from Indonesia from May 1978 to February 1979: Paradistomum geckonum Bhalerao, 1929 (Dicrocoeliidae) was found in the gallbladder and bile duct of Hemidactylus frenatus, Cosymbotus platyurus, Gehyra mutilata, Gekko gecko, Calotes versicolor, and Takydromus sexlineatus; Mesocoelium sociale Lühe, 1901 (Mesocoeliidae) in the small intestine and stomach of H. frenatus, C. platyurus, G. gecko, C. versicolor, and Mabuya multifasciata; and Postorchigenes ovatus Tubangui, 1928 (Lecithodendriidae) in the small intestine of H. frenatus, C. platyurus, G. mutilata, and G. gecko. Data on prevalence, intensity, and location within the host are given for each digenean species. No variations were observed between wet and dry seasons. Prevalence and intensity of P. geckonum and P. ovatus were similar in males and females of each host species examined except for the gecko Gehyra mutilata, in which females had a significantly higher prevalence of infection of both parasites than males. This difference is possibly due to differential food preference.

Biological information, behaviour and suitable habitat of water monitor was very less in order to support its maintenance management and breeding efforts. One of important information is the information of digestive tract, particularly the information about the structure of intestine tissue of water monitor. Sample in this research was intestine organ of water monitor. The animal was anesthetized, exanguinated, and fixed in paraformaldehyde 4% by tissue perfusion method. The intestine tissue sample for histological section with paraffin method was cutted with 3-4 μm thick and coloured with hematoxylin eosin (HE). Observation were performed to the structure of intestine histology. The results was analysed descriptively and presented in figures. Monitor lizard intestine consist of small intestine and large intestine. The small intestinal wall was observed similar to jejunum and ileum. The large intestinal wall was composed of transitional ephytelia and connective tissue. However, the ephytelial layer in this tissue was composed of transitional ephytelia that similar to vesica urinaria and there are no villi.

Excessive hunting and poaching for commercial purpose of Varanus salvator in Indonesia can cause a decline in this animal population. However, the scientific information of this animal especially about the biologic of organ system is rarely reported. Therefore, this case opens up opportunities for researching, which aims to study the anatomy of digestive tract of water monitor macroscopically. This research has been conducted in Biology Laboratory, University of Muhammadiyah Kupang for 5 months from March to August 2016. The digestive organ of this animal that has been preserved in alcohol 70% was obtained before from two males of water monitors. Preservation process: the animal were anesthetized, exsanguinated, and fixated in 4 paraformaldehyde by tissue perfusion method. Observations were performed to the visceral site and morphometrical of digestive tract. The resulted data was analysed descriptively and presented in tables and figures. The digestive tract of water monitor consist of esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and cloaca. The dimension of each organ is different based on its structures and functions. The esophagus of water monitor connects the mouth cavity and the stomach and also as the entrance of food to the stomach. Water monitor stomach were found in cranial part of abdomen, in left side of liver. The small intestine was longer than stomach and it is a winding muscular tube in abdomen in posterior side of liver. The large intestine consist of colon and cloaca, while cecum was not found. This channel was extend lateromedially in abdomen to cloaca between left and right kidneys. The cloaca was the end of digestive tract which excreted feces and urine. From this research, we can conclude that the digestive tract of water monitor consists of esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. It’s difficult to differentiate small intestine and large intestine because there are no cecum.

Background: Cancer contributes to significant morbidity and mortality despite advances in treatment and supportive care. There is a need for the identification of effective anticancer agents. Reptiles such as tortoise, python, and water monitor lizards are exposed to heavy metals, tolerate high levels of radiation, feed on rotten/germ-infested feed, thrive in unsanitary habitat and yet have prolonged lifespans. Such species are rarely reported to develop cancer, suggesting the presence of anticancer molecules/mechanisms. Methods: Here, we tested effects from sera of Asian water monitor lizard (Varanus salvator), python (Malayopython reticulatus) and tortoise (Cuora kamaroma amboinensis) against cancer cells. Sera were collected and cytotoxicity assays were performed using prostate cancer cells (PC3), Henrietta Lacks cervical adenocarcinoma cells (HeLa) and human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF7), as well as human keratinized skin cells (Hacat), by measuring lactate dehydrogenase release as an indicator for cell death. Growth inhibition assays were performed to determine the effects on cancer cell proliferation. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was performed for molecular identification. Results: The findings revealed that reptilian sera, but not bovine serum, abolished viability of Hela, PC3 and MCF7 cells. Samples were subjected to liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, which detected 57 molecules from V. salvator, 81 molecules from Malayopython reticulatus and 33 molecules from C. kamaroma amboinensis and putatively identified 9 molecules from V. salvator, 20 molecules from Malayopython reticulatus and 9 molecules from C. kamaroma amboinensis when matched against METLIN database. Based on peptide amino acid composition, binary profile, dipeptide composition and pseudo-amino acid composition, 123 potential Anticancer Peptides (ACPs) were identified from 883 peptides from V. salvator, 306 potential ACPs from 1074 peptides from Malayopython reticulatus and 235 potential ACPs from 885 peptides from C. kamaroma amboinensis. Conclusion: To our knowledge, for the first time, we reported comprehensive analyses of selected reptiles’ sera using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, leading to the identification of potentially novel anticancer agents. We hope that the discovery of molecules from these animals will pave the way for the rational development of new anticancer agents.
