“…Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Shoalwater Bay, Australia, consumed only small amounts (Ͻ1% diet volume) of L. majuscula during a large bloom that covered extensive areas of their normal seagrass forage (Arthur et al, 2006a). Despite trying to avoid the cyanobacterium, they still consumed small amounts while feeding, and LTA has been detected in tissue samples collected from green turtles in Moreton Bay, Australia, where extensive blooms of L. majuscula, containing LTA, frequently occur on seagrass beds (Arthur et al, 2007).…”

“…There is a geographical association between regions where regular blooms of Lyngbya sp. occur and areas of high FP prevalence in the local turtle population, but this association may be related to poor ecosystem health or food limitations rather than a toxicological effect (Arthur et al, 2007).…”

“…A presença das sequências virais confirmada por PCR em tempo real, tanto em animais com lesões características da FP quanto na pele de animais aparentemente saudáveis , sugere que a progressão das lesões seja multifatorial e envolve potencialmente uma fase de promoção ou fase de desenvolvimento tumoral (QUACKENBUSH et al, 1998 (HERBST, 1994;HERBST;KLEIN, 1995;LANDSBERG et al, 1999;ARTHUR et al, 2008). A associação entre a FP e o Ácido Okadaico (OA), composto natural promotor tumoral foi demonstrado recentemente (LANDSBERG et al, 1999).…”

“…A variação geográfica na prevalência da doença é provavelmente uma consequência da alta fidelidade das tartarugas com seus habitats de forrageio (TAQUET et al, 2006) a qual poderia permitir ou favorecer a exposição crônica a agentes promotores tumorais e poluentes (ARTHUR et al, 2008).…”
