Dramatic declines in amphibians worldwide highlight the need for a better understanding of diseases affecting these species. To delineate the health issues of amphibians submitted to Texas A&M University System (2016–2020), the databases were queried on the basis of defined selection criteria. A total of 502 anurans (157 frogs [44 species] and 345 toads [10 species]) and 30 caudatans (23 salamanders [6 species] and 7 newts [4 species]) were reviewed. A most likely cause of death or major pathological finding (CD-MPF) leading to euthanasia was identified in 295 (55%) Anura cases and 15 (50%) Caudata cases. Of the 532 records reviewed, anurans included 492 captive, seven free-ranging and three undetermined specimens. All caudatans were captive. The most common CD-MPF in anurans was infectious/inflammatory (228/295; 77%), involving mycobacteriosis (73/228; 32%), chlamydiosis (44/228; 19%) and mycosis (32/228; 14%). Neoplasia was less common (28/295; 9%). Infectious/inflammatory lesions (14/15; 93%) were the main CD-MPFs in caudatans. Infectious diseases are a significant threat to captive amphibians in Texas and these results may aid personnel involved in amphibian conservation programmes, veterinarians and diagnosticians.

世界范围内两栖动物的急剧减少凸显了更好地了解影响这些物种的疾病的必要性。为了描述提交给德克萨斯 A&M 大学系统 (2016-2020) 的两栖动物的健康问题，根据定义的选择标准对数据库进行了查询。共审查了 502 只无尾猿（157 只青蛙 [44 种] 和 345 只蟾蜍 [10 种]）和 30 只尾目（23 只蝾螈[6 种]和 7 只蝾螈[4 种]）。在 295 (55%) 个 Anura 病例和 15 (50%) 个 Caudata 病例中确定了导致安乐死的最可能的死亡原因或主要病理发现 (CD-MPF)。在审查的 532 条记录中，无尾猿包括 492 条圈养、7 条自由放养和 3 条未确定的标本。所有的尾尾都被俘虏了。anurans 中最常见的 CD-MPF 是感染性/炎症性 (228/295; 77%)，涉及分枝杆菌病（73/228；32%）、衣原体病（44/228；19%）和真菌病（32/228；14%）。瘤形成不太常见（28/295；9%）。感染性/炎症性病变（14/15；93%）是尾端的主要 CD-MPF。传染病是德克萨斯州圈养两栖动物的重大威胁，这些结果可能有助于参与两栖动物保护计划的人员、兽医和诊断人员。
