The Concurrent Detection of Chelonid Alphaherpesvirus 5 and Chelonia mydas Papillomavirus 1 in Tumoured and Non-Tumoured Green Turtles

Animals, 2021
Characterised by benign tumours, fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a debilitating disease that predominantly afflicts the endangered green turtle (Chelonia mydas).

A review of fibropapillomatosis in Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) [PDF]

The Veterinary Journal, 2016
Despite being identified in 1938, many aspects of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of fibropapillomatosis (FP) in marine turtles are yet to be fully uncovered. Current knowledge suggests that FP is an emerging infectious disease, with the prevalence varying both spatially and temporally, even between localities in close proximity to each other. A high

The green turtle Chelonia mydas as a marine and coastal environmental sentinels: anthropogenic activities and diseases

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
The green turtle Chelonia mydas is a widely distributed, slowly maturing species with a complex life cycle, using both oceanic and coastal environments.

Somatic Growth Rates of Juvenile Green Sea Turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) in the Fijian Archipelago. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We measured somatic growth rates of 215 juvenile green turtles across three foraging sites in the Fijian Archipelago from 2015 to 2022, finding a mean growth rate of 1.6 ± 0.1 cm year−1 that declined non‐monotonically with size and varied spatially between sites.

A half-century of demographic changes in a green turtle (Chelonia mydas) foraging aggregation during an era of seagrass decline

Marine Biology, 2022
To understand the demographic responses of green turtles to seagrass decline, we examined a data set from study of a mixed-stock foraging aggregation of immature green turtles, Chelonia mydas, collected in Bermuda (32o18’N, − 64o46’W) over five decades ...

Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress and Persistent Organic Pollutants in Plasma and Eggs of Chelonia mydas Nesting in the Southern Gulf of Mexico

Estuaries and Coasts, 2023
The major nesting sites for the endangered green turtle (Chelonia mydas) are in Campeche, Mexico: Carmen, Isla Aguada, and Sabancuy. Although they are in a natural reserve, these nesting sites are threatened by agricultural activities and oil extraction.

Haematological and biochemical reference intervals for wild green turtles (Chelonia mydas): a Bayesian approach for small sample sizes

Conservation Physiology, 2022
Reference intervals are essential for assessing wildlife health. However, these cannot be reliably determined with small sample sizes. We used Bayesian modeling to account for sample size limitations and predicted blood biochemical and haematological ...

eDNA metabarcoding for diet analyses of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas)

Marine Biology, 2021
Understanding sea turtle diets can help conservation planning, but their trophic ecology is complex due to life history characteristics such as ontogenetic shifts and large foraging ranges.

Foraging Habits of Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Knowledge of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) foraging ecology in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is critical as populations begin to recover from heavy harvesting in prior centuries.

Emergence of a Novel Pathogenic Poxvirus Infection in the Endangered Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) Highlights a Key Threatening Process

Viruses, 2021
Emerging viral disease is a significant concern, with potential consequences for human, animal and environmental health. Over the past several decades, multiple novel viruses have been found in wildlife species, including reptiles, and often pose a major
