• Abstract

  In the last decades, many research papers brought to evidence the potential impact of diseases in wild animal populations. However, few studies focused on establishing parameters to reliably differentiate healthy from sick animals. Thus, we present clinical, hematological and serum chemistry data from nine healthy ocelots and one ill ocelot captured in 2012 and 2013. Laboratory results we…

• Abstract

  The green turtle (Chelonia mydas) feeds and nests on the Brazilian coast and have been affected by fibropapillomatosis, wich is characterized of benign skin tumors and is one of the greatest threats to the survival of this species. Studies suggest virus associated with population, genetics and environmental factors. At this study, we will have access to green turtle populations from vario…

• Abstract

  Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a neoplasm globally reported in sea turtles, especially in green turtles (Chelonia mydas). Although the manifestation of tumors is multifactorial, there is an agreement that the etiological agent of FP is Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChHV5), whose mechanical vector is still unknown. The Spirorchiidae family belongs to a group of digenetic trematodes of Platyhel…

• Abstract

  Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a benign neoplastic disease with epithelial origin characterized by simple or multiple skin tumors, verrucous or smooth texture, sessile or pedunculated. The size and number of lesions may compromise feeding, swimming, vision and physiological conditions, leading to chronic cases of stress and immunosupression. Chelonid herpesvírus-5 (ChHV-5) is considered the …

• Abstract

  Sea turtles are a primitive and particular component of biological diversity and an essential part of marine ecosystems. There are five species of sea turtles that feed and nest in Brazil such as green turtle (Chelonia mydas), which according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN, 2014) is considered endangered. According to the Marine Turtle Specialist Group, curren…
