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

2021-01-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4> A bstract </h4> 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. Pet trade generates international flow of tortoises, often without sanitary checking; individuals intentionally or accidentally released in the...
