 note = {Between September 13th and November 18th in 1999, four ball pythons, Python reginus kept in the same display, showed anorexia and died one after another. At necropsy, all four snakes had severe hemorrhagic colitis. Microscopically, all snakes had severe necrotizing hemorrhagic colitis, in association with ameba-like protozoa. Some of the protozoa had macrophage-like morphology and others formed protozoal cysts with thickened walls. These protozoa were distributed throughout the wall in the large intestine. Based on the pathological findings, these snakes were infested with a member of Entamoeba sp., presumably with infection by Entamoeba invadens, the most prevalent type of reptilian amoebae., 1999年の9月から11月の間に, 同じ展示場で飼育されていた4例のボールニシキヘビPython reginusが食欲不振等を示して死亡した.剖検では, 全例に重度の出血性大腸炎が認められた.組織学的には, 全例で重度のアメーバ様原虫をともなう壊死性出血性大腸炎が認められた.原虫はマクロファージ様形状, あるい肥厚した細胞壁を有する原虫シストの形態を示していた.これらの原虫は大腸壁全層に分布していた.以上の所見より, アメーバ原虫感染症, 特に爬虫類アメーバ症に最も代表的なEntamoeba invadensの感染が疑われた.},
