Health assessments are a key component of chelonian population assessment and monitoring but are under reported in many species. The purpose of this study was to characterize the health of spotted turtles (Clemmys guttata; n = 30) and painted turtles (Chrysemys picta; n = 24) at Camp Edwards, a military base in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, using physical examinations, hematology, plasma heavy metal analyses, and pathogen surveillance via PCR. Spotted turtles had a high prevalence of carapace (n = 27, 90%) and plastron (n = 14, 46.7%) lesions, and a previously undescribed adenovirus was detected in three animals (proposed as Clemmys adenovirus-1). Female painted turtles had lower plasma copper (p = 0.012) and higher strontium (p = 0.0003) than males, and appeared to be in a similar plane of health to previous reports. This initial health assessment effort provides useful baseline data for future comparison in these species. Conservation efforts on Camp Edwards should incorporate continued health surveillance of these populations to identify intervention opportunities and determine the conservation threats, if any, of the novel adenovirus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1638\/2023-0141","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]],"date-time":"2024-09-05T05:53:14Z","timestamp":1725515594000},"page":"743-749","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["HEALTH ASSESSMENT OF SPOTTED (CLEMMYS GUTTATA) AND PAINTED (CHRYSEMYS PICTA) TURTLES IN CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS, U.S.A, WITH DETECTION OF A NOVEL ADENOVIRUS"],"prefix":"10.1638","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Lauren M.","family":"Vincent","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew C.","family":"Allender","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annie E.","family":"Curtis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John C.","family":"Garrison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stacey","family":"Lance","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"McFall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amber","family":"Simmons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaitlin","family":"Moorhead","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Adamovicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1213","reference":[{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"LD Smythe, IL Smith, GA Smith, et al.  \"BMC Infect Dis.\"  2, \"A quantitative PCR (TaqMan) assay for pathogenic Leptospira spp.\" 13 (2002)","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2334-2-13"},{"key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"D VanDevanter, P Warrener, L Bennett, et al.  \"J Clin Microbiol.\"  34, \"Detection and analysis of diverse herpesviral species by consensus primer PCR.\" 1666 (1996)","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.34.7.1666-1671.1996"},{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"G Archer, C Phillips, L Adamovicz, et al.  \"J Zoo Wildl Med.\"  48, \"Detection of copathogens in free-ranging eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) in Illinois and Tennessee.\" 1127 (2017)","DOI":"10.1638\/2017-0148R.1"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"S Buchanan, J Atutubo, N Karraker, et al.  \"MDPI.\"  11, \"A comparison of the population genetic structure and diversity between a common (Chrysemys p. picta) and an endangered (Clemmys guttata) freshwater turtle.
