    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2008) Dorrestein, Gerry M.; Uğurtaş, İsmail Hakkı; Özyiğit, Musa Özgür; Akkoç, Ahmet; Akkaya, Abdulmüttalip; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi .
    In this case, a green lizard (Lacerta viridis LAURENTI 1768) caught in Uludag, Bursa, north-western Turkey, was diagnosed as reovirus by electron microscopy. In the macroscopical examination, wart-like growths were seen on the dorsum of the animal on the skin between the forearms and on the back close to the pelvic region. In the microscopical examination of hematoxylin and eosin stained sections, hyperkeratosis, ballooning degeneration and eosinophilic inclusions in the cytoplasm were observed. There was no positive reaction for papillomavirus in immunohistochemistry. Electron microscopic study of these growths revealed the presence of viral particles belonging, from the morphological aspect, to the family Reoviridae.

    This report describes succinylcholine poisoning observed in a 4-year-old male, German shepherd dog. The dog was referred to Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Uludag University in Bursa, Turkey for necropsy and toxicological investigation in February of 2008. The dog has died after muscular contractions and salivation in short time. An automatic injector was found on the right distal abdominal of the dog before death. Examining appropriate historical and clinical signs, pathologic and histopathologic findings with the dog and discovery of succinylcholine in a drop residue found in the automatic injector supported a diagnosis of succinylcholine poisoning.
