Summary During first five years of our Pond Turtle Disease Monitoring Project groups of Trachemys scripta elegans introduced in artificial and natural ponds in the Po Plane (North Italy) were examined for an epidemiological survey of infectious agents. From 2001 onwards we began a survey of some syntopic populations with Emys orbicularis. All analyses were done at the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Lombardia e dell’Emilia Romagna in Brescia. Observation, isolation and identification of micro- organisms have been accomplished using standard procedures. We present results of the analysis of 312 samples collected from T.s.elegans and 100 from E.orbicularis. 86% of T.s.e. and 96% of E.o. had positive results for bacteriological analysis; 48,1% of these samples for T.s.e. and 68,7% for E.o. were recognized as specific Chelonian infectious agents (as Aeromonas hydrophila, Citrobacter freundii, Pseudomonas spp. and Edwarsiella tarda). Most of other recognized microbic organism live in waters and ground normally and are patogenous opportunists that penetrate carapax micro lesions.
