摘要: ABSTRACT The Texas tortoise (Gopherus berlanderi) is one of four native species found in North America. All Gopherus receive some form government protection because recent population declines. considered threatened within the state and major conservation interest. As a result human encroachment into habitats, there has been an increase dissemination infectious disease populations. One most important diseases studied American tortoises Mycoplasma agassizii. Seroprevalence studies have performed California desert agassizii) Gopher polyphemus) but yet to be tortoise. purpose this study was measure seroprevalence agassizii using ELISA two populations tortoises, wild (N = 39) wildlife rehabilitation facility 15). Tortoises ...
