Post Mortem Findings of Cetaceans Stranded Along the Campania Coast from 2016 to 2022 [PDF]

Animals
The presence of cetaceans along the Campania coast has always been documented. Between 2016 and 2022, out of 65 cetaceans stranded along the Campania coast, 46 were studied for bacteriological, virological, parasitological, and histopathological ...

Commentary: Initial characterization of novel Beaked Whale Morbillivirus in Hawaiian cetaceans [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The Dolphin Morbillivirus (DMV) epidemic which occurred between 1990 and 1992 was particularly dramatic for Western Mediterranean striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba). This was followed by a second outbreak that simultaneously involved, between 2006 and 2008, long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) and striped dolphins from the same area. Two

Coinfection with Dolphin Morbillivirus (DMV) and Gammaherpesvirus in a Spinner Dolphin (Stenella longirostris) Stranded in Sri Lanka [PDF]

Viruses
Following the X-Press Pearl maritime disaster off the coast of Sri Lanka, a stranded spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) was recovered, and the cause of death was investigated.

Portable Molecular Diagnostics for Cetacean Morbillivirus: Development of a Reverse Transcription Insulated Isothermal PCR (RT-iiPCR) for Global Surveillance. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) drives recurrent unusual‐mortality events, yet surveillance is uneven where laboratory capacity is limited. We developed a portable reverse transcription‐insulated isothermal PCR (RT‐iiPCR) assay targeting a conserved phosphoprotein (P)‐gene segment and evaluated analytical performance, tissue‐level clinical sensitivity ...

Central Nervous System Disorders of Marine Mammals: Models for Human Disease? [PDF]

Pathogens
This article deals with Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders of marine mammals as putative neuropathology and neuropathogenesis models for their human and, to some extent, their animal “counterparts” in a dual “One Health” and “Translational Medicine ...

Long-term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Viral skin diseases in odontocete cetaceans: gross, histopathological, and molecular characterization of selected pathogens

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Fifty-five skin lesions from 31 stranded cetaceans along the Canary coasts (2011–2021) were submitted to macroscopic, histological, and molecular analyses to confirm infection by cetacean poxvirus, herpesvirus and cetacean morbillivirus.

Towards Integrated Surveillance of Marine Brucellosis: Diagnostic and Phylogenetic Assessment of <i>Brucella ceti</i> in Stranded Dolphins of the Western Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Reports of brucellosis in free‐ranging cetaceans are increasing worldwide, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea. To enhance diagnostic accuracy and epidemiological understanding of cetacean brucellosis in the Western Mediterranean Sea, we analyzed bacteriological, serological, and molecular data from 30 cetaceans belonging to three different species ...

Initial characterization of novel beaked whale morbillivirus in Hawaiian cetaceans [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) is a causative factor in epizootics that have resulted in thousands of deaths throughout the Atlantic and Mediterranean since 1987, but less is known of its presence and significance in the Pacific. The first case of CeMV reported in Hawai'i was in a Longman's beaked whale that stranded in 2010.
