Guiana Dolphin Unusual Mortality Event and Link to Cetacean Morbillivirus, Brazil [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 During November–December 2017, a mass die-off of Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) began in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Molecular and pathologic investigations on 20 animals indicated that cetacean morbillivirus played a major role.
