Article Synopsis
- Turtles are unique reptiles facing endangerment, yet turtle adenoviruses are under-researched compared to other reptiles, prompting a study on their molecular diversity.
- Researchers analyzed samples from turtles in Brazil and Hungary, employing nested PCR techniques and Sanger sequencing to detect and characterize adenoviruses and previously unreported circoviruses.
- The study identified new strains of testadenoviruses, including the first adenovirus from a sea turtle, and suggests coevolutionary patterns between these viruses and their turtle hosts, revealing significant insights into turtle virology.
