First detection of herpesvirus and prevalence of mycoplasma infection in free-ranging Hermann’s tortoises (Testudo hermanni), and in potential pet vectors

bioRxiv, 2021
Two types of pathogens cause highly contagious upper respiratory tract diseases (URTD) in Chelonians: testudinid herpesviruses (TeHV) and a mycoplasma (Mycoplasma agassizii). In captivity, these infections are frequent and can provoke outbreaks.

After the Fire, Hope Springs Eternal: Movements and Body Condition of Hermann's Tortoises in a Devastated Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Rapid assessment of the delayed impacts of fires on endangered species is essential for accurately guiding conservation efforts. After the fire, surviving Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni) showed only minor behavior alterations, and burnt habitats continued to provide them with essential resources.
