Stress Assessment in <i>Caretta caretta</i> During the Rehabilitation Period. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
The rehabilitation of the loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, involves stressors like handling and confinement. To assess physiological stress responses during rehabilitation, twenty-five C. caretta hospitalized at C.Re.Ta.M. were monitored over a two-month period at three time points (T0, T1, and T2).

Is Caretta Caretta a Carrier of Antibiotic Resistance in the Mediterranean Sea? [PDF]

Antibiotics, 2020
Sea turtles can be considered a sentinel species for monitoring the health of marine ecosystems, acting, at the same time, as a carrier of microorganisms. Indeed, sea turtles can acquire the microbiota from their reproductive sites and feeding, contributing to the diffusion of antibiotic-resistant strains to uncontaminated environments. This study aims

Evaluation of Biochemical Parameters in Caretta caretta Sea Turtles. [PDF]

Vet Sci
The Caretta caretta is the only known sea turtle that nests along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. It is considered a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) because it is threatened by human activities. The aim of this work was to analyze biochemical parameters in different age groups of C.
