Patterns in the Presence of Respiratory Tract Mycoplasmas in Four Species of North American Tortoises
There are two known pathogens Mycoplasma agassizii and M. testudineum that cause upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) in some species of tortoises. Here, we sought to determine the presence and frequency of these bacteria among four North American tortoise species: Gopherus polyphemus (gopher …

Use of environmental variables to infer gene flow and population structure in the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) and predict the seroprevalence of an emerging infectious disease
… the seroprevalence of an associated pathogen Mycoplasma agassizzi in gopher tortoise populations. Using mitochondrial data, I find evidence of a historical barrier to gene flow that appears to coincide with the Apalachicola River. I also discover low genetic diversity and evidence of …
