Item CHARACTERIZATION OF FIBROPAPILLOMA-ASSOCIATED TURTLE HERPESVIRUS IN GREEN TURTLES FROM BRAZIL(2010) RODENBUSCH, C. R.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; MELO, M. T. D.; PIRES, T. T.; WERNECK, M. R.; TOREZANI, E.; CANAL, C. W.The fibropapillomatosis is an emerging disease with high prevalence in turtles and characterized by multiple papillomas, fibromas and fibropapillomas in the skin or viscera. This disease is called "green turtle fibropapillomatosis” (GTFP) because it was first recorded in green turtles. In the Brazil, the first record of GTFP was in 1986 in the state of Espírito Santo (ES), and during the period of 2000-2004, 14.96% of the 4471 green turtles examined had tumors. The etiologic agent of GTFP is still uncertain, but the patterns of disease spread during outbreaks among captive green turtles have shown a pattern of infectious etiology.Item Juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in the effluent discharge channel of a steel plant, Espírito Santo, Brazil, 2000–2006(2010) TOREZANI, E.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; MENDES, S. L.; BARATA, P. C. R.; Marine Biological Association of the United KingdomThis study, carried out from August 2000 to July 2006, began out of the recognition of a special ecological situation, when an aggregation of juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) was found inside the effluent discharge channel of a steel plant located near Vito´ria, the State of Espı´rito Santo capital, eastern Brazil. The green turtles were captured through either cast nets or a set net or by hand (one turtle was captured alive on one of the channel banks); after data collection, they were released back into the discharge channel. Information is here reported on the temporal pattern of occurrence, size-classes, residency, presence of tumours and growth rates of tumoured and non-tumoured green turtles in the study area. A total of 640 individual green turtles were captured in the six years; 448 of them were captured just once, and 192 were captured two or more times. Curved carapace length ranged between 25.2 and 77.5 cm. Among the captured green turtles, 59.1% were classified as being in normal body condition and without any tumours, 6.6% were either underweight or emaciated but without any tumours, and 34.4% had tumours, with different levels of the tumour severity score.Item DETECTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF FIBROPAPILLOMA-ASSOCIATED TURTLE HERPES-VIRUS IN MARINE TURTLES FROM BRAZIL(2009) ALMEIDA, L. L.; MARKS, F. S.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; PIRES, T. T.; WERNECK, M. R.; DAMASCENO, T.; ALLIEVE, M.; CANAL, C. W.- DETECTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF FIBROPAPILLOMA-ASSOCIATED TURTLE HERPESVIRUS IN MARINE TURTLES FROM BRAZIL(2009) RODENBUSH, C. R.; ALMEIDA, L. L.; MARKS, F. S.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; PIRES, T. T.; WERNECK, M. R.; DAMASCENO, T.; ALLIEVE, M.; CANAl, C. W.Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a neoplasic disease of marine turtles characterized by the presence of epithelial fibropapillomas and internal fibromas. Although the tumors are considered bening, the disease can be life-threatening; large cutaneous tumors can interfere with the turtles' locomotion, vision, swallowing, and breath-ing, and visceral tumors can be locally invasive and affect organ function.
Item Captive-raised Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta) Found Nesting Eight Years After Release(2007) ALMEIDA, A. P.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; SANTOS, A. S.; SERAFINI, T. Z.The Brazilian coast between the states of Sergipe and Rio de Janeiro (Figure 1) is considered the most important breeding site of the loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta in Latin America (Marcovaldi & Marcovaldi 1999), with over 5,000 nests laid annually (Marcovaldi & Chaloupka in review).- ANALISE PARASITOLÓGICA DE Dermochelys coriacea Linnaeus 1766 NO ATLÂNTICO SUL OCIDENTAL(2007) WERNECK, M.

Item Relationship between fibropapillomatosis and environmental quality(2010-02-24) SANTOS, R. G.; MARTINS, A. S.; TOREZANI, E.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; FARIAS, J. N.; HORTA, P. A.; WORK, T. M.; BALAZS, G. H.We documented the presence of fibropapillomatosis (FP), a debilitating tumor-forming disease, in marine turtles in Espírito Santo Bay (Brazil) from March 2007 to April 2008, and assessed the value of a specific environmental index for predicting the prevalence of FP. Turtles were captured monthly with entanglement nets and scored for presence and severity of FP. For the assessment of habitat quality, we used the ecological evaluation index (EEI) based on benthic macrophytes. The FPfree control area was classified as good quality (EEI = 8) and the study area, with high FP prevalence, was classified as bad quality (EEI = 2). Prevalence of FP in the study area was 58.3% with an average of 40 tumors per individual, and prevalence varied positively with curved carapace length (CCL). No FP was seen in the control area. The number of turtles heavily afflicted (tumor score category 3) was 10 times larger than those lightly affected (tumor score category 1). Most tumors were found on or near the front and rear flippers; no oral tumors or internal tumors were found. At recapture, 41% of formerly tumor-free turtles revealed FP, often increasing in severity with time, and very few turtles showed signs of disease regression. From the results of this study we concluded that FP is particularly severe in Espírito Santo Bay. Future studies should focus on evaluating how widespread FP is in Brazil, whether prevalence is increasing or decreasing, and elucidating the pathology and pathogenesis of FP in sea turtles in Brazil.Item Characterization of Fibropapilloma Associated Turtle Herpesvirus in Green Turtle From Brazil.(2010) RODENBUSCH, C. R; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; MELO, M. T. D; PIRES, T. T; WERNECK, M. R; TOREZANI, E; CANAL, C. W- Educational campaign to reduce the impact of artificial light on sea turtle nesting beaches in Brazil.(2000) MARCOVALDI, M. Â; BELLINI, C; CASTILHOS, J. C de; SILVA, A. C. C. D. da; GALLO, B. M. G; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; LIMA, E. H. S. M; LIMA, E. P; SANCHES, T. M; THOMÉ, J; PATIRI, V. J. ASeveral important stages of reproduction by sea turtles normally take place at night, under the cover of darkness on beaches. Artificial lights on or near beaches often reduce the number of female sea turtles that emerge from the ocean to nest (Witherington, 1992; Ehrhart et al. 1996). When females do lay their eggs on beaches that are subject to artificial lighting, seafinding of the resultant hatchling turtles is often disrupted and they often go away from the sea (e.g. Philibosian, 1976; Peters and Verhoeven, 1994). Misoriented hatchlings face increased mortality from land predators, accidental trampling by people or vehicles, or desiccation following sunrise. Development of coastal areas, in the form of homes, hotels, industrial complexes, and recreational areas, leads to an increase of nighttime lighting. Unchecked lighting on beaches used by sea turtles can have serious impacts on nesting populations, and as such management of lighting on or near beaches is a priority for most sea turtle conservation programs.
