Abstract

The causes of the beaching and death of sea turtles have not been fully clarified and continue to be studied. Mild, moderate and severe lesions caused by spirorchiidiosis have been seen for decades in different organs and were recently defined as the cause of death of a loggerhead turtle. In the present study, eyes and optic nerves were analysed in green sea turtles with spirorchiidiosis and no other debilitating factors. Injuries to the optic nerve and choroid layer were described in 235 animals (90%) infected with spirorchiids. Turtles with ocular spirorchiidiosis are approximately three times more likely to be cachectic than turtles with spirorchiidiosis without ocular involvement.

摘要

海龟搁浅和死亡的原因尚未完全阐明，仍在继续研究。几十年来，在不同器官中都观察到了由旋尾虫病引起的轻度、中度和重度病变，最近这些病变被确定为一只蠵龟死亡的原因。在本研究中，对患有旋尾虫病且无其他衰弱因素的绿海龟的眼睛和视神经进行了分析。在235只（90%）感染旋尾虫的动物中描述了视神经和脉络膜层的损伤。患有眼部旋尾虫病的海龟比没有眼部感染的旋尾虫病海龟出现恶病质的可能性大约高三倍。
