Can anyone give a source for this information? If not, I suggest possible removal of these statements:

In 90% of the cases, FP and herpesvirus are both present. All cases report a max. 2cm between the FP and herpes spots. These results lead to the conclusion that a chelonian herpesvirus is regularly associated with fibropapillomatosis and is not merely an incidental finding in affected turtles. In the 1990's, it was thought that this was a deadly condition for sea turtles and would quickly lead to the extinction of all seaturtle. New research shows that larger species can and will recover from the disease
