Cell-mediated immune response of Chelonia mydas

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1985
Blastogenic and cytotoxic responsiveness of peripheral blood leukocytes from the green turtle, Chelonia mydas were examined. Blastogenic responses were low level and showed considerable variation between animals. Blastogenesis in response to phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A was observed through out all seasons.

ELECTROCHEMOTHERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF FIBROPAPILLOMAS INCHELONIA MYDAS

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2014
Fibropapillomatosis continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in sea turtles, particularly in Chelonia mydas. Turtles with this debilitating herpesvirus disease usually present with multiple, large, and ulcerated cutaneous masses that compromise both locomotion and feeding.

Caryospora cheloniae SP. N.: A COCCIDIAL PATHOGEN OF MARICULTURE-REARED GREEN SEA TURTLES (Chelonia mydas mydas)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1978
Caryospora cheloniae sp. n. is described from mariculture-reared green sea turtles (Chelonia m. mydas). The sporulated oocyst has a thin, transparent, single-layered wall which often ruptures, leaving a naked sporulated sporocyst. Oocysts measured 33.8 to 40.1 micrometer by 11.0 to 14.6 micrometer (mean 37.4 by 12.8 micrometer). Greatest concentrations

Accumulation of trace metals in eggs and hatchlings of Chelonia mydas

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, 2020
The objective of this study was to verify the accumulation of trace metals in eggs and hatchlings of Chelonia mydas, evaluating if metal accumulation is originated from maternal transfer and/or from the incubation environment. Other assessments were also performed, as metal distribution in different tissues (blood, kidney, liver, muscle, and turtle ...

Some Aspects of Electrolyte Excretion in the Green Turtle, Chelonia Mydas Mydas

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1964
ABSTRACT The ‘salt gland’ appears to be the predominant route of sodium and potassium excretion in the marine turtle Chelonia mydas mydas. The kidney of the marine turtle is probably not capable of maintaining a positive water balance in the face of the electrolyte loads presented by sea water and food.

Mechanics of the respiratory cycle in the green turtle (Chelonia mydas)

Respiration Physiology, 1974
Abstract Inspiration in the green turtle is, from a mechanical standpoint, quite comparable to the same event in mammals, but expiration is the event of special interest, because there is no well-developed conducting system in the lungs. Nonetheless, peak expiratory flow velocities in this turtle are very high and are not different from those of man ...

Systemic oxalosis in a free-ranging green turtle (Chelonia mydas)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2023
A female juvenile green turtle (Chelonia mydas), found alive in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was weak, dehydrated and cachectic, with a healed fracture in the caudal portion of the carapace. Despite supportive treatment, the animal died after 9 days.

Pulmonary function of the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1987
Lung volumes, oxygen uptake (VO2), end-tidal PO2, and PCO2, diffusing capacity of the lungs for CO (DLCO), pulmonary blood flow (QL) and respiratory frequency were measured in the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) (49–127 kg body wt). Mean lung volume (VL) determined from helium dilution was 57 ml/kg and physiological dead space volume (VD) was about ...

Corneal Fibropapillomatosis in Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Australia

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2010
Chelonid corneal fibropapillomatosis has not previously been recorded in Australian waters. During 2008, 724 green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) were examined in Queensland, Australia at two sites, Moreton Bay (n=155) and Shoalwater Bay (n=569), during annual monitoring. In the same calendar year, 63 turtles were submitted from various sites in southern

Bacterial diversity of the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nest environment

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
The green turtle is an endangered species that is highly sensitive to environmental pollution that can adversely affect the healthy development of eggs. Moreover, the presence of some bacteria in nests can be regarded as an indicator of the pollution level in nesting areas.
