have these frogs also been used in laboratories?
Yes, used as model animals in research
Australian green tree frog
Green tree frogs are sometimes used as model animals in research. The structure of their toe pads was used to investigate the microstructure and properties of the epithelium that allows the animals to adhere to wet surfaces.
where do green tree frogs go during the day They find cool, dark, and moist areas, such as tree holes or rock crevices, in which to sleep how did these frogs get their name? The name is often given to the most common green arboreal species in a region, such as the American green tree frog where are these frogs mostly found? Native to Australia and New Guinea what kind of people are found in the second place? The Papuans can you name some plants found here? The conifers "Podocarpus", rainforest emergents "Araucaria" and "Agathis," are some of them name one physical characteristic of the frog found in australia. It is plump, rather large tree frog, and can grow up to in length, with fully grown females being slightly larger than males what kind of behaviour do these frogs display? Are docile and unafraid of humans., and nocturnal in nature and what kind of behavior does the american specie display? Tends to be nocturnal, and in captivity they will be the most active once the lights are off can they be kept as pets? Yes can the australian specie also be kept as pets? Yes when does breeding in these frogs take place? Between November and February and how many eggs do they lay at a time? Clumps of between 200 and 2000 eggs are laid are these frogs threatened? No are they protected by any conservation group? Australian law; under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Australian green tree frog [SEP] Use in research
These caeruleins now have a number of clinical applications. Several peptides from the skin secretions of the green tree frog have been found to destroy HIV without harming healthy T cells. The fungus "Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis", the causal agent of chytridiomycosis, is causing declines in many species of amphibians, but the secretions produced by the green tree frog and certain other Australian species of frog ("Litoria chloris" and "Litoria genimaculata") are protective against this fungus. The peptides inhibit the growth of the fungus "in vitro" and these frog species are believed not to be in decline. Green tree frogs are sometimes used as model animals in research.
