Article Synopsis
- Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) is linked to fibropapillomatosis (FP), a serious disease affecting sea turtles worldwide.
- Research detected ChHV5 DNA in various tissues of both FP+ (affected) and FP- (unaffected) green sea turtles, revealing a persistent infection.
- High levels of ChHV5 were found in lungs of FP- turtles, suggesting that many may carry the virus without showing symptoms, indicating that other factors might play a role in causing FP.
