Abstract |
Testudinidae Indotestudo forstenii The histopathologic evaluation showed severe systemic inflammation and necrosis associated with intranuclear inclusions consistent with a systemic viral infection. Fecal testing results and histopathologic findings revealed intestinal and hepatic amoebiasis in some animals. Aeromonas hydrophila and Escherichia coli were cultured from multiple organs. The mycoplasma serology and PCR results for intranuclear coccidia and chelonian herpesvirus were negative. Polymerase chain reaction testing of tissues and choanal swabs from affected animals were positive for an adenovirus, which was characterized as a novel adenovirus of the genus Siadenovirus.
