This bibliography is based primarily on the definitive marine turtle fibropapilloma bibliography prepared by Shawn K. K. Murakawa and George H. Balazs of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. We are grateful to them for the tremendous effort involved in assembling their document. George Balazs has naturally ensured that researchers working on marine turtle fibropapillomas, as well as other interested parties, have received a copy of the original bibliography. The version we present here is intended for students or researchers not yet working in this area.
To reduce the number of times you will have to fetch documents from the shelves, we have organized our bibliography by source rather than alphabetically. We have also included articles that we think might be useful in our efforts to learn about this disease. Most of these articles were referred to by Lawrence H. Herbst in his paper Fibropapillomatosis of marine turtles (q.v.) and are marked with an asterisk (*). Articles marked with two asterisks (**) are from other sources.
We've also received permission to include a page with the latest version (November 10, 2009) of the Murakawa-Balazs bibliography, as forwarded to us by Shawn Murakawa. This page retains the traditional organization for bibliographies, alphabetically by author. Again, we express thanks to Shawn Murakawa and George Balazs for their work and their permission to post it here. If you prefer, you can download the PDF version.
We've provided links to journals that have sites on the World Wide Web. We have also included some links to related documents. As we discover more links, we will add them here.
We accept responsibility for all errors found in this bibliography. Please report any corrections or suggestions for new links to webmaster@turtles.org (Peter Bennett).
