Sažetak
Pathogens introduced by invasive species can be the cause of decline of native species, but may also be a source of many zoonoses. As in the other parts of the world, Trachemys species illegally released to nature by their owners represent a great problem in Croatia. There is a lack of information about pathogens related to the released Trachemys sp. in Croatia, but also in Europe. Therefore we monitored released animals from a pond situated near the capital city centre for selected pathogens. For that purpose we tested the animals on the following microorganism – Campylobacter sp., Chlamydia sp., Leptospira sp., Salmonella sp., and Ranavirus. The blood was also taken for detection of the blood parasites and for haematological analysis.
