Summary table of number of turtle species individuals analysed for Chelonid fibropapilloma-associated herpesvirus (CFPHV) DNA. Results are listed as either CFPHV positive in FP exhibiting turtles clinically healthy carrying CFPHV DNA, or CFPHV free (CFPHV negative) in clinically healthy turtles. For detailed description of population species see Additional file 2.
