Genome Sequence of a Gammaherpesvirus from a Common Bottlenose Dolphin (<i>Tursiops truncatus</i>). [PDF]
Genome Announc, 2017 ABSTRACT A herpesvirus genome was sequenced directly from a biopsy specimen of a rectal lesion from a female common bottlenose dolphin. This genome sequence comprises a unique region (161,235 bp) flanked by multiple copies of a terminal repeat (4,431 bp) and contains 72 putative genes.

Microplastic Munchies: Exploring Microplastic Trophic Transfer Potential Between Two Key Prey Fish Species and Resident Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Sarasota Bay, Florida [PDF]
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Microplastics have been identified in hundreds of species, with evidence of trophic transfer via contaminated prey. Sarasota Bay common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) serve as sentinels of coastal pollution, including plastics and chemical plasticizers. Previous research confirmed microplastic ingestion in these dolphins (100.0%, n =

Investigating the Predation Risk of Coastal Dolphins via the Presence of Shark Bite Scars Across Southeast Queensland, Australia [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

Explosive exhalations by common bottlenose dolphins during Karenia brevis red tides [PDF]
Heliyon, 2020 Harmful algal blooms (HABs) such as those produced by Karenia brevis have acute negative impacts on common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Florida coastal waters, frequently causing illness and death. However, much less is known about chronic,

Erysipelas in a stranded common bottlenose dolphin: first report in a South American odontocete. [PDF]
Braz J Microbiol, 2022 Erysipelas is a zoonotic disease caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. In cetaceans, this disease has two main clinical forms: a cutaneous one, grossly characterized by rhomboid lesions, and a septicemic and often fatal form. Erysipelas is considered an important cause of morbidity and mortality in captive cetaceans; however, information in free ...

Immunolocalization of Nesfatin-1 in the Gastrointestinal Tract of the Common Bottlenose Dolphin Tursiops truncatus. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2022 First identified as an anorexigenic peptide, in the last decades, several studies have suggested that Nesfatin-1 (Nesf-1) is a pleiotropic hormone implicated in numerous regulatory processes in peripheral organs and tissues. In vertebrates, Nesf-1 is indeed expressed in the central nervous system and peripheral organs.

Identifying Suitable Areas for Common Bottlenose Dolphins in Anthropized Waters [PDF]
Marine Biology, 2022 Abstract Understanding the processes that determine the occurrence of species, especially for those exposed to human activities, is the key to appropriate management. Despite Tursiops truncatus being well-studied worldwide, information about transient groups of this common bottlenose dolphins and how groups are exposed to human activities is ...
