| Abstract |
|
Testudinidae Virus "x"-like agents have been isolated from different species of tortoises, but never from other reptiles. The most common tortoise species affected have been spur-thighed tortoises (Testudo graeca) and marginated tortoises (T. marginata). Other species in which similar agents have been detected include Hermann's tortoises (T. hermanni), leopard tortoises (Geoche/one pardalis) and Egyptian tortoises (T. kleinmanni). The animals from which these agents have been isolated have suffered from various pathologies, including diphtheroid-necrotizing stomatitis and pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, pneumonia, enteritis and ascites. In some cases, the animals were healthy, and others have been infected with other viruses or bacteria, especially herpesviruses and mycoplasma.
