Case report: Diagnosis and autogenous vaccine treatment of herpesvirus in a green turtle () in Santa Marta, Colombia.

This study reports the first case of fibropapillomatosis (FP) in the green turtle that has been successfully diagnosed and treated in Colombia. Worldwide, FP has reached epizootic proportions as it has been reported in marine turtles of tropical and subtropical waters, and in severe cases, it reduces the probability of survival. Treatment has been elusive as multiple surgical excisions are needed due to tumor recurrence.
