The clinical condition of adult captive tortoises with medium (M1-M7; 1F:6M) and severe (SI1-SI9; 6F:3M) infection as well as wild tortoises with no infection (NI1-NI9; 5F:4M) in Clark County, Nevada, USA. Tortoises were evaluated mid-summer (July) immediately before sampling of blood. The following codes indicate clinical anomalies observed during evaluation: A = asymmetrical, CD = cutaneous dyskeratosis, CM = coelomic mass, CP = coloration pale, CR = coloration red, DS = discharge serous, DM = discharge mucoid, E = edema, Er = eroded, L = lesions present, LR = labored respiration, O = occluded, R = recessed, W = weak/lethargic“−”= clinically normal. (MCL = Maximum Carapace Length). Numerical body condition scores (BCSs) were used to assess overall muscle condition and fat stores with respect to skeletal features of the head and limbs [36]. BCS scores were categorized as ‘under (1–3),’ ‘adequate (4–6)’ or ‘over (7–9)’ condition.
