Systematic Determination of Herpesvirus in Free-Ranging Cetaceans Stranded in the Western Mediterranean: Tissue Tropism and Associated Lesions

Viruses, 2021
The monitoring of herpesvirus infection provides useful information when assessing marine mammals’ health. This paper shows the prevalence of herpesvirus infection (80.85%) in 47 cetaceans stranded on the coast of the Valencian Community, Spain.

Evolutionary Dynamics and Transboundary Spread of Senecavirus A: The Role of Recombination and Global Swine Trade

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Senecavirus A (SVA) is an emerging swine pathogen associated with vesicular disease and neonatal mortality, posing significant challenges to global swine health. Here, we report the isolation and identification of two contemporary SVA strains, JS01 and JS02, from clinically suspected cases in China.

Development of an In‐House Antigen ELISA Using Monoclonal and Polyclonal Antibodies Against an Isolated Canine Distemper Virus

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
The present work describes the isolation and characterization of CDV from dogs and its molecular confirmation by RT‐PCR targeting the gene encoding the F protein. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis were undertaken to determine the strain relatedness of the viral genome.

Brucellosis in Marine Mammals: Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence, Infection Patterns, Host Specificity and Zoonotic Potential

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Marine brucellosis shows high prevalence in cetaceans (52%), followed by other marine mammals (30%) and pinnipeds (18%), indicating species‐specific susceptibility. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and diagnostic strategies to mitigate ecological and zoonotic risks.

Neurobrucellosis in a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) stranded in the Canary Islands

BMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background Brucella spp. isolation is increasingly reported in cetaceans, although associated pathologies, including lesions of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, are less frequently described. Concerning the nervous system, Brucella sp.

Evidence of susceptibility to morbillivirus infection in cetaceans from the United States

Marine Mammal Science, 2010
AbstractCetacean morbilliviruses (CeMV) are viruses that can cause mass mortalities among various odontocete species. In this study levels of “herd” immunity in cetaceans from the U.S. coast are described from the distribution and prevalence of antibodies against morbilliviruses.

Living Under Pressure: Suitable Areas for an Endangered Coastal Dolphin Overlap With Intense Human Activities

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Marine ecosystems, especially coastal ones, are experiencing increased pressure from human activities. The first step to develop effective and appropriate management strategies is to understand the underlying processes of species distribution.

By‐Catch of Grey Seals in Fish Traps in the German Baltic Sea—From Incidents to Mitigation and Fisheries Regulation

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT In autumn 2017, an unusual mortality event of Baltic grey seals (Halichoerus grypus grypus) occurred at the German Baltic coast. An alarming 23 carcasses of healthy, well‐fed, male large grey seals were found in a confined area in the Greifswald Bay (Mecklenburg‐Western Pomerania) in < 10 weeks from September to December.

Codamozza‐Fluker: The Compelling Case of a Flukeless Fin Whale Traveling Throughout the Mediterranean Sea and the Need for Basin‐Wide Conservation Efforts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
The authors report the first case of a live fin whale in the Mediterranean Sea with completely amputated flukes, a female which suffered two separated incidents with entanglement and collision both being hypothesized as causes. Sightings after the complete loss of her flukes enabled tracking her movements from September 2019 to July 2020, prior to her ...
