Talk:Turtle fibropapillomatosis

Untitled
Can anyone give a source for this information? If not, I suggest possible removal of these statements:

''In 90% of the cases, FP and herpesvirus are both present. All cases report a max. 2cm between the FP and herpes spots. These results lead to the conclusion that a chelonian herpesvirus is regularly associated with fibropapillomatosis and is not merely an incidental finding in affected turtles.'' ''In the 1990's, it was thought that this was a deadly condition for sea turtles and would quickly lead to the extinction of all seaturtle. New research shows that larger species can and will recover from the disease''

I have rewritten the whole article. I do believe all information in the previous text is included in the new text, but if not, feel free to add it. Now there are sources to all information. I will upload a picture of the mechanical vector (the Ozobranchus spp.) of the disease later, I got permission from the Zoological Museum of Hamburg to use their material - I found no commonright photo where I was certain of the species.

And, should class be changed now as the article is quite comprehensive?

Fibropapillopmatosis in Elk
This article discribes the disease in Elk in Scandinavia https://www.nrk.no/ho/vorteelgen-ma-do-1.13720830. The article refers to a Swedish article which states that as many as 1% of Elks might be affected. I would say the disease due to this not is specific to sea turtles like the opening sentence states. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atlesn (talk • contribs) 17:34, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Proposed merge between Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 and Fibropapillomatosis
Looks like proposed this initially.


 * Merge - the Fibropapillomatosis article deals solely with the effects of Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 in sea turtles. If the condition exists in elk or other species as noted above, then the article should be moved to the scientific name at Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 and Fibropapillomatosis should be a disambiguation page or something. --Nessie (talk) 15:48, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree there isn't enough material here for two articles, but I think the Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 should probably be merged into the disease article, which is far better developed. The disease article might be moved to a title such as turtle fibropapillomatosis, as there are certainly other viral fibropapillomas. Espresso Addict (talk) 05:27, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
