After I set up a vivarium using a fish tank it occurred to me that M. marinum could be a problem. I could not find much information on the internet, most of the posts that were free, (didn't want to pay the $35.00 or so for most journal articles), only discussed fish and people. Lija said the incubation period can be up to 5 months. I was curious about the symptoms in frogs. Apparently fish usually present lesions or swollen abdomns I was wondering if in frogs if it was
most commonly skin lesions or if it also affected the internal organs. Apparently a zoo put a lizard in a tank that previously housed fish, however, it had been dry for 2 years but never sterilized. The lizard was subsequently infected with M. marinum presenting on a toe.
