Parasitology Research, 2005
Tortoises of the genus Testudo living in Italy are Testudo hermanni, Testudo graeca and Testudo marginata. Although a great deal of information has been acquired on the internal medicine and surgery on these animals, little is known of their parasitological fauna.

Ultrastructure of the respiratory epithelium in the lungs of the tortoise, Testudo graeca
Cell and Tissue Research, 1977The respiratory epithelium in the lungs of the tortoise (Testudo graeca) has been studied by electron microscopy. The epithelium consists of a mosaic of two different cell types (here called "pneumonocytes"). Type I pneumonocytes are roughly squamous and possess attenuated flanges of cytoplasm which extend over the septal capillaries.

Ultrastructural study of the endocrine cells of the gut of Testudo graeca (Chelonia)
Anatomy and Embryology, 1989The digestive tract of Testudo graeca (Chelonia) was investigated by means of electron microscopy using both conventional and immunocytochemical techniques. EC-, L-, D-, G-, B-, N- and EC-L-cells were detected. These cells share several common ultrastructural characteristics with the endocrine cells of mammals (i.e.

The basal ganglia of Testudo Graeca
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1967AbstractThe basal ganglia of Testudo Graeca consist of upper and lower elevations in the side wall of the cerebral hemisphere. In the lower elevation is the medial forebrain bundle, and its hypothalamic connections suggest it may be concerned with visceral activities. In the upper elevation is the lateral forebrain bundle suggesting its connections are

Testudo graeca graeca feeding ecology in an arid and overgrazed zone in Morocco
Journal of Arid Environments, 2006Terrestrial chelonians of arid regions are frequently faced with highly variable food quality and/or quantity and these problems could be aggravated in overgrazing areas. Then, it is crucial for species conservation to possess precise data on feeding ecology. In this paper, we provide the first quantitative data on Testudo graeca graeca feeding ecology,

Journal of Small Animal Practice, 1980
ABSTRACTNormal bodyweight and carapace lengths for two species of tortoise are presented and a comparison made with changes in bodyweight in sick tortoises. Using these parameters veterinary surgeons will have guidelines for assessing the degree of debility in a tortoise of any age or size. A number of examples are given.

British Veterinary Journal, 1987
The mortality of tortoises in pet shops during 1982 and 1983 was calculated from records maintained as required under section 6 of the Endangered Species (Import and Export) Act 1976. The mean mortality rate in 1982 was 4·2% and 2·8% in 1983. Mortality was related to the number of tortoises delivered and sold as well as to poor conditions in the ...

Reference values for a variety of haematological parameters in 18 Mediterranean tortoises of two species (Testudo graeca and Testudo hermanni) were determined on six occasions during the year. Statistically significant seasonal variations were demonstrated in all parameters.

The Mechanism of Lung Ventilation in the Tortoise Testudo Graeca Linne
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1967ABSTRACT An account is given of the gross structure of the respiratory system and of the principal muscles involved in ventilation of the tortoise, Testudo graeca. The mechanism of ventilation was investigated by electrophysiological methods.
