Fig 3. Ophidiomycosis prevalence in relation to body size in Eastern Indigo Snakes (Drymarchon couperi).

Fig 3

All snakes were sampled in southern Georgia from 1 September 2016 to 4 August 2018 using cotton-tipped applicators. Snakes with apparent ophidiomycosis had skin lesions and were positive for Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola DNA using quantitative PCR. Possible ophidiomycosis was defined as snakes that had skin lesions but tested negative for O. ophiodiicola DNA. Negative individuals tested negative for O. ophiodiicola DNA and did not have any skin lesions.
