Simptome: ulcers and crusts on the skin or shell Turtles: land turtles Tratament: carried out by a veterinarian, contagious to other turtles

“Dry” stratification of scutes, caused by the saprophytic fungus Fusarium incarnatum. This disease, in principle, is not dangerous, since only the dying superficial sections of the horn exfoliate, but the periosteum remains intact. It is difficult and rather futile to treat this, tk. relapses usually occur.

Turtles have the following types of mycobiota: Aspergillus spp., Candida spp., Fusarium incornatum, Mucor sp., Penicillium spp., Paecilomyces lilacinus

Motivele:

1. In tortoises, it most often manifests as firm nodules (lodular dermatitis), highly scaly skin, characteristic eschars (brown or greenish-yellow in color) located in permanently injured areas (and in places of contact with the carapace, on the neck and tail in females with group keeping, etc.), weeping ulcers (when the process spreads from shell plates), subcutaneous abscesses (resembling pearls), sometimes enclosed in a dense fibrous capsule, as well as chronic edema of the subcutaneous tissue of the hind limbs.

2. The disease manifests itself in the form of local or extensive foci of erosion, usually in the region of the lateral and posterior plates of the carapace. The affected areas are covered with crusts, usually yellowish-brown. When the crusts are removed, the lower layers of the keratin substance are exposed, and sometimes even the bone plates. The exposed surface looks inflamed and is quickly covered with drops of punctate hemorrhage. The disease slowly progresses and usually acquires a protracted, chronic character. In land turtles, surface erosion is more characteristic.
