Fatal Systemic Morbillivirus Infection in Bottlenose Dolphin, Canary Islands, Spain

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
A systemic morbillivirus infection was diagnosed postmortem in a juvenile bottlenose dolphin stranded in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean in 2005. Sequence analysis of a conserved fragment of the morbillivirus phosphoprotein gene indicated that the virus

Cetacean Morbillivirus: Current Knowledge and Future Directions

, 2021
We review the molecular and epidemiological characteristics of cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) and the diagnosis and pathogenesis of sociated disease, with six different strains detected in cetaceans worldwide. CeMV has caused epidemics with high mortality

Genetic heterogeneity of dolphin morbilliviruses detected in the Spanish Mediterranean in inter-epizootic period

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background In the last 20 years, Cetacean Morbillivirus (CeMV) has been responsible for many die-offs in marine mammals worldwide, as clearly exemplified by the three dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) epizootics of 1990–1992, 2006–2008 and 2011 that affected ...

High pilot whale (g. melas) mortality due to morbillivirus in the Mediterranean sea

, 2009
Morbilliviruses have emerged as significant pathogens of cetaceans and pinnipeds worldwide. Two cetacean morbilliviruses have been identified and named porpoise morbillivirus (PMV) and dolphin morbillivirus (DMV).
