Funded!!

Thanks to your support, we met and then exceeded our funding goal! The funds have been received, and were used to cover serologic analysis of HBOI tortoise samples for exposure to Mycoplasma spp., and to conduct plasma protein electrophoresis of HBOI tortoise samples. The data are in, and we are now in the process of writing up this project for publication, with the journal Wildlife Research as our target for manuscript submission. Many thanks to everyone who helped support our work, we could not have pulled it off without you!!

Sincerely,

Dr. Annie Page-Karjian and the gopher tortoise team of the FAU-HBOI Marine Wildlife Veterinary Medicine & Research Laboratory
