MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Female; Lizards; Male; Mammals; Niger; Pentastomida; Plastics; Turtles / genetics; Turtles / parasitology
TL;DR:
Pentastomes are crustacean endoparasites in the lungs of herpetofauna and rarely mammals and birds and because some pentastome species, especially when in aberrant hosts, can be pathogenic, additional studies of parasites in native and introduced reptile and amphibian species in the Galápagos are needed to better understand the risk this parasite poses to GaláPagos tortoises.

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS, 28(5), 433–439.
MeSH headings : Administration, Cutaneous; Administration, Oral; Animals; Area Under Curve; Bacteria / drug effects; Decapodiformes / metabolism; Decapodiformes / microbiology; Enrofloxacin; Fluoroquinolones / administration & dosage; Fluoroquinolones / blood; Fluoroquinolones / pharmacokinetics; Fluoroquinolones / pharmacology; Immersion; Injections, Intravenous / veterinary; Microbial Sensitivity Tests
TL;DR:
The hemolymph concentration was still above minimum inhibitory concentration values for shrimp and fish bacterial isolates at 6 h after i.v. administration, so a bath of 2.5 mg/L for 5 h once to twice daily is suggested for additional studies to test efficacy against highly susceptible organisms.
