Evolutionary Comparisons of Chelonid Alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) Genomes from Fibropapillomatosis-Afflicted Green (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>), Olive Ridley (<i>Lepidochelys olivacea</i>) and Kemp’s Ridley (<i>Lepidochelys kempii</i>) Sea Turtles

The spreading global sea turtle fibropapillomatosis (FP) epizootic is threatening some of Earth’s ancient reptiles, adding to the plethora of threats faced by these keystone species. Understanding this neoplastic disease and its likely aetiological pathogen, chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChHV5), is c...
