Comparative plasma biochemistry analyte data in nesting leatherback (), foraging green () and foraging and nesting hawksbill () sea turtles in Grenada, West Indies.

Blood biochemistry represents a minimally invasive tool for monitoring sea turtle health, assessing injured sea turtles and supporting conservation strategies. In Grenada, West Indies, plasma biochemical variables were examined in 33 nesting leatherback (), 49 foraging green (), 49 foraging hawksbill () and 12 nesting hawksbill sea turtles sampled between 2017 and 2022. Plasma biochemistry reference intervals are described herein except for nesting hawksbills, which are represented by descriptive statistics due to the low sample size.

Environmental and Nesting Variables Associated with Atlantic Leatherback Sea Turtle () Embryonic and Hatching Success Rates in Grenada, West Indies.

Annual monitoring of leatherback sea turtle () nesting grounds in Grenada, West Indies has identified relatively low hatch rates compared to worldwide trends. This study investigated the impact of selected environmental variables on leatherback sea turtle embryonic development and hatching success rates on Levera Beach in Grenada between 2015-2019.

Antimicrobial resistance patterns of commensal isolated from feces of non-diarrheic dogs in Grenada, West Indies.

Background And Aim: There is currently no published information on the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of commensal in dogs of Grenada origin. Monitoring antimicrobial resistance helps in the empirical selection of antibiotics. This study determined the occurrence of including the O157:H7 serotype in feces of non-diarrheic dogs of Grenada origin and the antibiotic resistance pattern of the isolates.
