Sheltopusik lizards (Pseudopus apodus) are natural carriers of the nematode Entomelas sp., which are capable of striking the majority of lizard species, quite often causing their deaths. In this article, the parameters of the immune status of the sheltopusik lizard with helminthiasis are described, as are the changes when deworming is performed with the medicine “Reptilife-plus” and immunocorrections with the medicine Immunofan. I express gratitude to the candidate of veterinary sciences D. B Vassilyev, the leading herpetologist of Moscow Zoo, for his help in diagnosing the disease, granting medicines for treatment, and useful recommendations about veterinary herpetology. |
