| Abstract |
|
Testudinidae Testudo hermanni graeca Rhinitis is a common condition of captive Mediterranean tortoises. The interpretation of the results of the bacteriological examination of naso-oropharyngeal swabs from affected individuals has proved difficult, because the normal bacterial population of this region was unknown. No substantial differences in the strains of bacteria isolated from healthy individuals and from those affected by rhinitis could be found in this study. The report that Sendai virus was implicated in rhinitis of tortoises could not be substantiated. Paired blood samples failed to show a rise in titres against Sendai virus in either study group.
