Marine leech parasitism of sea turtles varies across host species, seasons, and the tumor disease fibropapillomatosis

Leah T. Rittenburg et al.

Summary: The study found that the leeches O. branchiatus and O. margoi may differ in their ability to transmit ChHV5 or to encounter and remain on FP-positive hosts, and potential immunological differences between green and loggerhead turtles may explain the observed relationships. This study provides robust statistical evidence of an association between leeches and FP, as well as seasonal fluctuations in leech presence, in green turtles but not in loggerhead turtles.

Transcriptomic Profiling of Fibropapillomatosis in Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) From South Texas

Nicholas B. Blackburn et al.

Summary: Sea turtle fibropapillomatosis is a tumor promoting disease affecting endangered sea turtle populations, with researchers using transcriptome sequencing to study the gene expression profiles of FP tumors and identifying potential tumor promoting genes. Additionally, they found evidence of disruption of the Wnt signaling pathway in FP and potential candidates for future studies in human oncology.

Molecular characterization of a marine turtle tumor epizootic, profiling external, internal and postsurgical regrowth tumors

Kelsey Yetsko et al.

Summary: Sea turtle populations are threatened by fibropapillomatosis, an animal epidemic. Researchers have found that internal tumors in turtles with this disease are molecularly distinct from external tumors, though they share common oncogenic signaling pathways that could be targeted for treatment.
