Figure 3. TEM observation results of field moribund
11 months old so shell turtles (2009). Under
thin-layered pustules and sloughed necrotic
epidermis over the legs, head and shell skin.
No clinical signs were observed in the negative
control turtles. Clinical lesions were not detected
in the experimentally infected tilapia, nor in
chickens 45 days post–inoculation, and plaque
formation was not observed in the embryonated
chicken eggs 7 days post-inoculation. However,
numerous white pock lesions on the CAM of
the embryonated so shell turtle eggs were
observed 3 days post-challenge. No clinical
signs were observed in the negative control
tilapia and chickens. Plaque formation was not
