Abstract
Sea turtles’ reproductive disorders are underdiagnosed; but potentially several diseases may affect gonads, genitalia, and annexes. Viruses, bacteria, and parasites may cause countless disorders; but more frequently the cause is traumatic or linked to human activities. Furthermore, veterinary management of the nest is of paramount importance as well as the care of newborns (also in captivity). This article gives an overview on the methods used to manage nests and reproductive activities of these endangered chelonians species.File in questo prodotto:
