Mycoplasmosis is of concern for chelonian conservation. We detected a Mycoplasma sp. in confiscated radiated tortoises (Astrochelys radiata) and spider tortoises (Pyxis arachnoides). Sequence analysis of the 16S-23S ribosomal RNA intergenic spacer region was consistent with Mycoplasma agassizii. Mycoplasma spp. have not been previously reported in native tortoises in Madagascar.
支原体病对陆龟保护而言备受关注。我们在没收的辐射陆龟（辐射陆龟属）和蛛网陆龟（蛛网龟属）中检测到了一种支原体。对16S - 23S核糖体RNA基因间隔区的序列分析结果与阿加西支原体相符。此前在马达加斯加本土陆龟中尚未有支原体属的报道。
