Description
Fibropapillomatosis is a debilitating tumor disease of sea turtles that is sometimes
fatal. This disease is a key concern for sea turtle rehabilitation facilities due to its infectious nature,
as it is associated with a virus called chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5. This is the first study to analyze
antibodies to this virus in loggerhead sea turtles and represents the most complete dataset on
viral detection in sea turtles encountered in the more northern latitudes of their habitat in the
western Atlantic.
