In recent years, Russian scientists have discovered some very special frogs in a pond. Their bodies are almost transparent, and even the flowing blood is almost transparent, allowing you to clearly see every bone in your body.
It is reported that these mysterious and abnormal mutant frogs move very quickly, more than 10 times faster than normal frogs, and are very difficult to catch. Russian scientists named the mutant species of frogs "glass frogs" based on their physical characteristics.
We all know that most of the colors of frogs are the color of the skin, usually made of green and gray-brown, and it is rare to see a transparent frog. So, what exactly causes the glass frog?
What exactly causes the weird "monster" frog?
After research by Russian scientists, a so-called "monster" frog appeared in the pond, which was affected by the amphibious parasite Strigea robusta, causing some abnormalities in the body formation of frogs and toads.
Russian scientists believe that the weird "monster" frog discovered this time is of great significance to studying various mutation processes and the protection of waterfowl populations.
So, how terrible is the amphibian parasite robseria? It is understood that the impact of the amphibious parasite Robustastriga infection on the neutral gonad structure and limb deformity in the early development of toads.
As early as the late 1940s, French physicist Jean Rostein had discovered some water frogs, and a polymorphic syndrome was found in the population, including polyfinger ends and some serious morphological abnormalities.
At that time, scientists were already conducting research and found that the morphological abnormalities of the water frog tadpoles were found in the laboratory. At that time, scientists had proposed the "flimmers hypothesis". According to the research of this hypothesis, the factor that causes morphological abnormalities was the fluke species.
According to relevant scientific experiments, scientists have conducted relevant scientific experiments to expose the polyfinger and severe forms of the heteromorphic abnormal syndrome in the Bufort tadpoles and Batulabu Ford toads caused by exposure to filaria cercariae.
All exceptions of toad are similar to those observed in water frogs. The survival rate of tadpoles in the experimental group was 76%. Morphological abnormalities were observed in 57.9% of toads (51.8% mild and 6.1% heavy). The incidence of morphological abnormalities ranged from 19% to 78% across groups.
Russian scientists say: Mollusk is the first intermediate host of all parasitic flukes, and they are found in large quantities in reservoirs. We planted parasite larvae on tadpoles of amphibian . It turns out that only infecting one of all flukes, the parasitic flukes, Strigea robusta, will the deviations studied in the green frog.
Ambulatory parasite fluke Strigea robusta cercaria form their shells (cysts) in the host, forming cysticaria , which may secrete a morphogenetic hormone to frog tadpoles. The morphogenetic hormone is the product of secondary metabolism and will cause appearance deviations in the animal's appearance.
Therefore, the main reason why Russian pond frogs have transparent glass forms is caused by parasites, and their impact range is also very large.
What are the dangers of eating frogs that are caused by the parasitic flukes, Strigea robusta?
In our daily life, many foods may actually be parasitized, and some species may even have parasitized behaviors in the human body. So, what harm will be if we eat the parasitized frogs Strigea robusta?
Flude Strigea robusta releasing deformin, causing amphibian phenotype to change, similar to some hereditary limb deformities in vertebrates.
At present, no human phenotype changes have been found. Scientists believe that if the flukescens Strigea robusta does not pose a threat to humans, its ultimate host is likely to be in the duck, and the flukescens Strigea robusta is adsorbed on the intestinal wall.
At the same time, Russian scientists warned local farmers and animal husbandry representatives not to move near specific waters to avoid being parasitized by the flukes Strigea robusta, causing the poultry to be parasitized and causing serious economic losses.
summary
The appearance of mutated glass frogs in Russia also reminded humans that prey on wild animals is prohibited. Because there are likely to be a large number of unknown deadly parasites or viruses in their bodies, it poses a serious threat to human life.
