Intestinal Volvulus in Cetaceans [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2012 Intestinal volvulus was recognized as the cause of death in 18 cetaceans, including 8 species of toothed whales (suborder Odontoceti). Cases originated from 11 institutions from around the world and included both captive ( n = 9) and free-ranging ( n = 9) animals. When the clinical history was available ( n = 9), animals consistently demonstrated acute

Identification of Novel Cetacean Poxviruses in Cetaceans Stranded in South West England. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Poxvirus infections in marine mammals have been mainly reported through their clinical lesions and electron microscopy (EM). Poxvirus particles in association with such lesions have been demonstrated by EM and were previously classified as two new ...
