Fibropapillomatosis: opportunistic records in Veracruz

González Díaz Mirón, R.J., Martínez-Portugal, R.C.

Fibropapillomatosis (FP) prevalence in sea turtles in the Mexican coast of the Gulf of Mexico remains limited. To address this gap, we compiled opportunistic FP records along three decades (1995-2025) from the coast of Veracruz.

To contribute with historical data for regional and global fibropapillomatosis prevalence assessments.

Some records do not have date.
