<b>Prevalence of <i>Fusarium</i> sp. in juvenile olive ridley sea turtles (<i>Lepidochelys olivacea</i>) kept at the <i>Centro de Conservación Marina</i>, Taxisco, Santa Rosa, Guatemala</b>
The low detection rate of <i>Fusarium</i> spp. suggests that it is not a common component of the skin flora of juvenile <i>L. olivacea</i> at CCM. However, its presence warrants continued surveillance given its potential role as an opportunistic pathogen under stress or immunosuppression.
