野生海龟(Chelonia mydas,eretmochelys imbricata)的粪便收集的内窥镜和直肠灌肠
摘要
Forty-seven free-ranging sea turtles (46- Chelonia mydas, 1- Eretmochelys imbricata) were examined via novel use of an endoscopy combined with a rectal enema to obtain large fecal sample volumes. The cloaca was insufflated using an endoscope, after which the bladder and rectum separated, allowing access to the colon. Environmental conditions and location influenced the performance of the procedure initially, but after several attempts the procedure was successfully initiated. In all cases, fecal samples were obtained, and the animals were released to their respective locations. Fecal sample collection using this approach enhances the ability to obtain diagnostic information and perform other scientific analyses of sea turtles.

通过新颖的使用内窥镜与直肠灌肠结合使用直肠灌肠以获得大型粪便样品量,检查了47只自由放映海龟(46- chelonia mydas,1- eretmochelys imbricata)。使用内窥镜将泄殖腔插入,然后膀胱和直肠分开,允许进入结肠。环境条件和位置最初影响了该过程的性能,但是经过多次尝试,该程序已成功启动。在所有情况下,都获得了粪便样品,并将动物释放到各自的位置。使用这种方法收集粪便样品可以增强获得诊断信息并进行其他科学分析的能力。
