Occurrence of Fibropapillomatosis in Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Relation to Environmental Changes in Coastal Ecosystems in Texas and Florida: A Retrospective Study

It was found that variations in sea surface temperature, salinity, and nutrient effluent discharge from nearby rivers were correlated with an increased incidence of the disease, substantiating that these may be among the significant environmental drivers impacting Fibropapillomatosis prevalence.

Factors influencing the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in the United Arab Emirates

The most frequently identified factors promoting PCOS pathogenesis that may be pertinent to this population include physiological factors such as insulin resistance, vitamin D deficiency, genetic factors, obesity, and anti-mullerian hormone levels in the body as well as environmental factorssuch as air pollution, endocrine disrupting chemicals, and pesticide use.

Organochlorines Contaminants in Eggs of Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) and Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) from Mexico coast

The relationship between turtle size and the OCPs concentrations was analysed; no correlation was found between the size of the female and concentrations in the eggs, and principal component analysis indicated pattern differences between species and years, in good agreement with concentrations differences.
