Epidemiology of Sulawesi Tortoise Adenovirus in Free-living Blanding's Turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta), and Red-eared Sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) in Illinois, USA
Ready Z, Adamovicz L, Daleo M, Simmons A, Glowacki G, Graser W, et al.
J Wildl Dis . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40048565
Sulawesi tortoise adenovirus (STADV) has been implicated in a mortality event involving three endangered species of tortoises and detected in free-living painted turtles (Chrysemys picta); however, the epidemiology of this...

Detection of Adenoviruses in Free-Ranging Blanding's Turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta), and Red-Eared Sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) in Illinois, USA
Ready Z, Adamovicz L, Wellehan J, Daleo M, Simmons A, Glowacki G, et al.
J Wildl Dis . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40040353
Morbidity and mortality associated with adenoviruses (AdVs) have been reported in multiple taxa, including chelonians. Adenoviruses of a distinct testudinoid origin have been detected in both managed and free-ranging turtles...

Development of a validated quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay and fungal culture for the diagnosis of Macrorhabdus ornithogaster in budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus)
Lang D, Adamovicz L, Hung C, Delk K, Langan J, Chinnadurai S, et al.
Am J Vet Res . 2025 Feb; :1-6. PMID: 39970531
Objective: To develop and validate a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay for detecting Macrorhabdus ornithogaster (MO) and reproducibly culture MO from infected budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus). Methods: A TaqMan qPCR assay targeting...

Hematology, Plasma Biochemistry, Protein Electrophoresis, and Pathogen Surveillance in Headstarted and Wild-Reared Populations of Blanding's Turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) in Three Northern Illinois, USA, Counties
Davidson A, Kendall M, Ryan M, Ladez K, Bradley S, Lionetto C, et al.
J Wildl Dis . 2024 Nov; 61(1):30-45. PMID: 39591981
Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) are a species of conservation concern throughout their natural range. Headstarting is a common chelonian conservation technique in which neonates are reared in managed-care settings before...

Developing and validating a multiplex hydrolysis probe-based quantitative PCR assay for the detection of four pathogens in chelonians
Daleo M, Allender M
J Virol Methods . 2024 Nov; 332:115077. PMID: 39580119
Many wildlife conservation efforts focus on the effects of one pathogen, but for many conservation efforts to be successful, researchers require an understanding of ecological processes that may include multiple...

Evaluating the Efficacy of Disinfectant Methods against Emydomyces testavorans, a Fungus Associated with Shell Disease in Freshwater Aquatic Turtles
Liszka N, Adamovicz L, Moorhead K, Daleo M, Grochowski K, Allender M
J Wildl Dis . 2024 Nov; 61(1):234-240. PMID: 39552063
Emydomyces testavorans is an onygenalean fungus associated with shell and skin lesions in chelonians and is increasingly linked to morbidity and mortality. Effective disinfection methods are a critical component of...

HEALTH ASSESSMENT OF SPOTTED () AND PAINTED () TURTLES IN CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS, U.S.A, WITH DETECTION OF A NOVEL ADENOVIRUS
Vincent L, Allender M, Curtis A, Garrison J, Lance S, McFall A, et al.
J Zoo Wildl Med . 2024 Sep; 55(3):743-749. PMID: 39255217
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...

LACK OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN A POINT-OF-CARE BLOOD URIC ACID METER AND A BENCHTOP CHEMISTRY ANALYZER IN EASTERN BOX TURTLES ()
Harkey C, Allender M, Sheldon J, Moorhead K, Fredrickson K, Adamovicz L
J Zoo Wildl Med . 2024 Sep; 55(3):724-729. PMID: 39255214
Uric acid (UA) is excreted as an end product of protein metabolism in many reptiles, including some chelonians. Elevated plasma UA concentrations can occur due to many physiologic and pathologic...
