Morbilliviruses in Mediterranean monk seals

Veterinary Microbiology, 1999
Two morbilliviruses were isolated from Mediterranean monk seals (Monachus monachus), one from a stranded animal in Greece and the other one from carcasses washed ashore during a mass die-off in Mauritania. From both viruses N and P gene fragments were sequenced and compared to those of other known morbilliviruses.

Status of the Mediterranean Monk Seal,Monachus monachus, in the Foça Pilot Monk Seal Conservation Area, Turkey

Zoology in the Middle East, 2003
Abstract The status of the Mediterranean Monk Seal, Monachus monachus, has been studied over a five-year period between 1994 and 1998 in the Foca Pilot Monk Seal Conservation Area. The identification of individual seals occurring in the area, their spatial distribution and biology were studied using the results of direct cave surveys, land-based seal ...

The recent status of Monachus monachus, the Mediterranean monk seal

Biological Conservation, 1978
Abstract Mediterranean monk seals Monachus monachus (Hermann 1779) still live widely in their primaeval range around the Mediterranean and adjacent northeast Atlantic seas, but are now confined chiefly to remote cliffbound coasts and islets. Greatest numbers occur in the eastern Aegean sea.

First Report of Acanthocheilonema spirocauda in the Mediterranean Monk Seal (Monachus monachus)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2010
The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) is one of the world's most endangered marine mammals. The largest population is located mainly throughout the Aegean and Ionian islands and along the coastline of southern continental Greece. We report the findings of a necropsy and discuss their potential importance to the conservation of the species ...

Stable isotopes confirm a coastal diet for critically endangered Mediterranean monk seals

Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies, 2014
Understanding the ecology and behaviour of endangered species is essential for developing effective management and conservation strategies. We used stable isotope analysis to investigate the foraging behaviour of critically endangered Mediterranean monk seals (Monachus monachus) in Greece.

Visceral Leishmaniosis and Parapoxvirus Infection in a Mediterranean Monk Seal (Monachus monachus)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2007
A Mediterranean monk seal was shown by immunohistochemical and polymerase chain reaction techniques to be dually infected with a Leishmania sp. and parapoxvirus. The pathological findings included a deep ulcer on the side of the head, ulcers on the gingival and inner aspect of the lower lip, enlarged lymph nodes and tonsils, and respiratory lesions ...

Organochlorine pollutant levels in Mediterranean monk seals from the western Mediterranean and the Sahara coast

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1997
Blubber samples from 31 Mediterranean monk seals from the Sahara coast (Atlantic ocean) and from 2 individuals from the northern coast of Africa (western Mediterranean) were analysed for DDTs and PCBs. Seals from both regions carried qualitatively similar pollutant profiles, although levels were significantly higher in the individuals from the western ...

REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE OF THE FEMALE MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL IN THE WESTERN SAHARA

Marine Mammal Science, 2003
AbstractMediterranean monk seals at Cap Blanc, western Sahara, pup annually throughout the year, although births are more frequent in autumn (October). Consequently, subsequent events of the cycle are not seasonal. This lack of synchronicity in reproduction can be attributed to the subtropical location of the colony and the presence of a semipermanent ...
