The review examines the most recent advances on the effect of persistent pollutants on sea
turtles. Research on this topic is still limited, especially that related to toxicity, since they are …

Simple Summary In a fast-changing world, it is highly important to consider the possible
consequences of human-driven effects that can alter natural ecosystems. In this review, we …

The level of contamination of selected priority pollutants consisting of polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorine pesticides …

We aimed to identify patterns in the internal distribution of persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) and assess contributing factors using sea turtles and their offspring as a case study …

Environmental contaminants with chemical origins, such as organochlorine pesticides
(OCPs) have major impacts on the health of marine animals, including sea turtles, due to the …

Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a tumor‐forming disease which affects all species of marine
turtle, but predominantly the green turtle (Chelonia mydas). Expression of this disease is …

Green turtles, Chelonia mydas, have been included in biomonitoring efforts given its status
as an endangered species. Many studies, however, rely on samples from stranded animals …

There is a strong correlation between degraded marine habitats and the prevalence of
diseases such as green turtle fibropapillomatosis (GTFP) in coastal populations. In GTFP …

Studies of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), in sea …

Fibropapillomatosis (FP) poses a significant threat to the conservation of green sea turtles
(Chelonia mydas). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons-PAHs are considered mutagenic …
