    Description: Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a growing threat to the survival of green turtle,Chelonia mydas, populations worldwide and has been shown to be affectingloggerhead, Caretta caretta, and olive ridley, Lepidochelys olivacea, populations aswell. Transmission studies in captivity carried out by this laboratory have demonstratedthat FP in green turtles is caused by an infectious subcellular agent. (Herbst, et al,1995), (Herbst et ai, 1996a). We have demonstrated a new Chelonid herpesvirus inexperimentally induced and spontaneous fibropapillomas of green turtles using electronmicroscopic,molecular, and serological techniques (Jacobson et ai, 1991), (Herbst, etai, 1995), (Herbst, et ai, 1996b), (Lackovich, et al 1998a), (Herbst, et ai, 1998), (Garber,et al 1998). Recent studies by others have confirmed our early characterization of thisvirus as a member of the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily (Quackenbush, et al, 1998,Herbst, et al, 1996b, Garber, et ai, 1998).Although this herpesvirus is considered a candidate for the etiology of FP, it hasnot yet been cultivated in vitro. Fulfillment of Koch's postulates through a controlledtransmission study using cultured herpesvirus would test its role as the etiologic agentof FP. These studies were initiated to provide previously unavailable information aboutthe prevalence of this virus in tumors and skin of green and loggerhead turtles in Floridaand to attempt to cultivate it in vitro.

    Description: Research conducted under this RWO from July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2000 hasprovided important new information about the pathogenesis, virology, andimmunology of marine turtle fibropapillomatosis. In particular, we have providedstrong evidence for the association of a herpesvirus with fibropapillomatosis of thegreen turtle,Chelonia mydas, and the loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta, in Florida. Inaddition we have provided new evidence for the absence of papillomaviruses fromsea turtle fibropapillomas. Although unsuccessful, important new attempts were madeto cultivate the FP-associated herpesvirus in vitro in collaboration with the NationalWildlife Health Center. During this period of time, we completed publication of the firstcomprehensive description of the comparative pathology and pathogenesis ofexperimentally induced and spontaneous fibropapillomas of green turtles (Cheloniamydas). We initiated innovative studies on the persistence of a Chelonianherpesviruses in the marine environment demonstrating for the first time that theenvironmental survivability of Chelonian herpesviruses makes them real threats tomarine turtle health. Finally, we explored development of a serological assay for FPusing synthetic herpesvirus peptides and developed methodologies for detection ofantibodies to LETV [Iung-eye-trachea virus] a disease-associated herpesvirus of thegreen turtle, Chelonia mydas.. This last initiative is ongoing and will further our effortsto develop specific immunological assays for the FP-associated herpesvirus and FP. (17 page document)

    Description: Along EAFB on Cape San BIas, the only sea turtle species nest observed has beenthe loggerhead turtle. The first green turtle nest documented along the Florida panhandlecoast was observed on EAFB property, however (D. Atencio, EAFB, pers. comm). SantaRosa Island, located approximately 150 miles west of Cape San BIas supports a small butconsistent, group of nesting green turtles (Fig. 2). Although erosion is not as severe alongSanta Rosa Island as it is on Cape San BIas, and vehicular traffic is not permitted, seaturtles nesting on this barrier island must survive severe tropical storms, predation, andartificial lighting to be successful. Because this area supports a rare group of nesting greenturtles and is disturbed by intense artificial lighting from Air Force missions and adjacentresort towns, continued monitoring is necessary. The sea turtle species that nest along thisbarrier island, and the human activities that disturb those sea turtles present uniquecircumstances for management ofthis area. Protection ofthe significant nestingpopulations of sea turtles on EAFB properties on Cape San BIas and Santa Rosa Islandrequires yearly monitoring of the nesting activity and the natural and human disturbancesinfluencing the nesting females.The objectives ofthis study were to monitor sea turtle nesting along EAFB onCape San BIas to determine number of nests and hatching success, assess disturbances,and determine proper management to ensure successful nesting and hatching.(56 page document)

    Description: During 1983 and 1984 the effect of low level military trainingflights on the establishment. size and reproductive success of wadingbird colonies was studied in Florida. Based on the indirect evidenceof colony distributions and turnover rates in relation to militaryareas (training routes designated to 500 feet or less above groundlevel and military operations areas). there was no demonstrated effectof military activity on wading bird colony establishment or size on astatewide basis. Colony distributions were random with respect tomilitary areas and turnover rates were within 2% when military andnon-military areas were compared. Colony distributions and turnoverrates, however. were related to the amount and type.Les tuer-tne orfreshwater) of wetland. respectively.During two breeding seasons the behavioral responses andreproductive success of selected species were monitored in anon-habituated treatment colony (military overflights) and a controlcolony (no overflights). Breeding wading birds responded to F-16overflights at 420 knots indicated airspeed. 82-84% maximum rpm. 500feet above ground level and sound levels ranging from 55-100 dBA byexhibiting no response. looking up or changing position (usually to analert posture): no productivity limiting responses were observed.High-nesting Great Egrets responded more than other species, nestlingGreat Egrets and Cattle Egrets responded significantly (r 〈.05) moreintensely than adults of their respective species, and adultsresponded less during incubation and late chick-rearing than at othertimes. In addition, no differences in adult attendance, aggressiveinteractions or chick feeding rates were observed to result from F-16 overflights. No evidence of habituation to overflights was noted.Humans entering the colony or airboats approaching the colony vicinityelicited the most severe responses (flushing and panic flights)observed at both sites.Since relatively little coastal military activity occurs at lowlevels ( ~500 ft) and only one Brown Pelican colony (5-6% of thebreeding population) was located in such an area, the reproductivesuccess of five, more lIexposedll study species (Great Egrets, SnowyEgrets, Tricolored Herons, Little Blue Herons, Cattle Egrets) nestingin interior freshwater colonies was studied. Reproductive activityincluding such factors as nest success, nestling survival, nestlingmortality, and nesting chronology was independent of F-16 overflightsbut related to ecological factors including colony location, colonycharacteristics and climatology. The responses to and effects of F-16overflights, as reported here, should not be considered representativeof military aircraft at lower altitudes or greater noise levels. (194 pages)
