Abstract

Freshwater turtles face numerous anthropogenic threats worldwide. Health assessments are a key component of chelonian population assessment and monitoring but are under reported in many species. The purpose of this study was to characterize the health of spotted turtles (Clemmys guttata; n = 30) and painted turtles (Chrysemys picta; n = 24) at Camp Edwards, a military base in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, using physical examinations, hematology, plasma heavy metal analyses, and pathogen surveillance via PCR. Spotted turtles had a high prevalence of carapace (n = 27, 90%) and plastron (n = 14, 46.7%) lesions, and a previously undescribed adenovirus was detected in three animals (proposed as Clemmys adenovirus-1). Female painted turtles had lower plasma copper (p = 0.012) and higher strontium (p = 0.0003) than males, and appeared to be in a similar plane of health to previous reports. This initial health assessment effort provides useful baseline data for future comparison in these species. Conservation efforts on Camp Edwards should incorporate continued health surveillance of these populations to identify intervention opportunities and determine the conservation threats, if any, of the novel adenovirus.

美国马萨诸塞州鳕鱼角斑龟(clemmys guttata)和彩龟(chrysemys picta)的健康评估及新型腺病毒的检测。
全世界的淡水龟面临着众多人为威胁。健康评估是螯类动物种群评估和监测的关键组成部分,但许多物种的健康评估报告不足。本研究的目的是通过体格检查、血液学检查、血浆重金属分析以及通过 PCR 进行病原体监测,对马萨诸塞州鳕鱼角军事基地爱德华兹营的斑龟(Clemmys guttata; n = 30)和彩龟(Chrysemys picta; n = 24)的健康状况进行描述。斑纹龟的甲壳(n = 27,90%)和底盘(n = 14,46.7%)病变发生率很高,有三只斑纹龟体内检测到一种以前未曾描述过的腺病毒(建议称为 Clemmys adenovirus-1)。与雄性彩龟相比,雌性彩龟的血浆铜(p = 0.012)和锶(p = 0.0003)含量较低,健康状况似乎与之前的报告相似。这项初步健康评估工作为这些物种今后的比较提供了有用的基准数据。爱德华兹营的保护工作应结合对这些种群的持续健康监测,以确定干预机会,并确定新型腺病毒对保护的威胁(如果有的话)。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (JZWM) is considered one of the major sources of information on the biology and veterinary aspects in the field. It stems from the founding premise of AAZV to share zoo animal medicine experiences. The Journal evolved from the long history of members producing case reports and the increased publication of free-ranging wildlife papers. The Journal accepts manuscripts of original research findings, case reports in the field of veterinary medicine dealing with captive and free-ranging wild animals, brief communications regarding clinical or research observations that may warrant publication. It also publishes and encourages submission of relevant editorials, reviews, special reports, clinical challenges, abstracts of selected articles and book reviews. The Journal is published quarterly, is peer reviewed, is indexed by the major abstracting services, and is international in scope and distribution. Areas of interest include clinical medicine, surgery, anatomy, radiology, physiology, reproduction, nutrition, parasitology, microbiology, immunology, pathology (including infectious diseases and clinical pathology), toxicology, pharmacology, and epidemiology.
