Abstract

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 Yucatan.

Purpose

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