Selected sea turtle isolates (STI) and non-sea turtle isolates were tested. The STI belonged to the two species, i.e., F. falciforme (subclade A, n = 12) and F. keratoplasticum (subclade C, n = 12), and the NSTI isolates belonged to subclade B (n = 12). The data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments.
