Keen AN, McConnell JC, Mackrill JJ et al. · Acta physiologica (Oxford, England) · 2025-04 · open access
Aim Cardiac fibrosis contributes to systolic and diastolic dysfunction and can disrupt electrical pathways in the heart. There are currently no therapies that prevent or reverse fibrosis in human cardiac disease. However, animals like freshwater turtles undergo seasonal remodeling of their hearts,…

- Partial unilateral ovarian torsion in a red-eared slider turtle ( Trachemys scripta elegans ).
Vetere A, Gavezzoli M, Bel LV et al. · Frontiers in veterinary science · 2025-02 · open access
Follicular torsion occurs when only a group of ovarian follicles rotates around its own axis resulting in vascular compromise. To our knowledge, no previous reports have documented the occurrence of this condition in chelonians. A 14-year-old female Trachemys scripta was presented with inappetence…

- Freshwater turtle (Reptilia: Testudines) assemblage from an urban protected Atlantic Forest remnant: population density, movement and habitat preference
Sabine Borges da Rocha, Carlos Rouco, Carlos Eduardo Vargas Grou et al. · Zoologia (Curitiba) · 2025-01 · open access
ABSTRACT Urbanization may significantly impact wild population dynamics, even in protected green spaces. From 2016 to 2018, we accessed an assemblage of freshwater turtles isolated in an urban remnant of the Atlantic Forest, southern Brazil. We captured turtles by active search, hookless fishing,…
- Trachemys scripta Eggs as Part of a Potential In Vivo Model for Studying Sea Turtle Egg Fusariosis.
Martínez-Ríos M, Martín-Torrijos L, Diéguez-Uribeondo J · Journal of fungi (Basel, Switzerland) · 2025-01 · open access
The fungal pathogens Fusarium keratoplasticum and Fusarium falciforme are responsible for the emerging infectious disease named sea turtle egg fusariosis (STEF). This disease affects all sea turtle species throughout the world, causing low hatching success and mass mortalities. In this study, we…
- Macro- and microscopic anatomy of the digestive tract in the red-eared slider (Emydidae: Trachemys scripta elegans).
Miyai N, Kozono T, Kuriki T et al. · PloS one · 2024-12 · open access
The red-eared sliders (Emydidae: Trachemys scripta) is characterised by a high adaptability to a variety of environment and threatens the habitat of Japanese native species. The ability to digest a variety of diets may attribute to the high adaptive capacity of this species to various environments,…

Daleo MJ, Allender MC · Journal of virological methods · 2024-11 · open access
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 co-occurring pathogens. We developed a multiplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay to…
