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?

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Turtle fibropapillomatosis/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Right now this article is mainly about sea turtles, but it should be expanded to include all species affected by this (although sea turtles are probable the most seriously affected). Needs an image, too. I found one here, but it's not public domain and I'm unsure if we can use it as stated because derivative works seem to be disallowed by its copyright tag. --Joelmills 16:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fibropapillopmatosis in Elk

edit

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 (talkcontribs) 17:34, 5 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge between Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 and Fibropapillomatosis

Looks like Ypna proposed this initially.
