Deep breath out: molecular survey of selected pathogens in blow and skin biopsies from North Atlantic cetaceans [PDF]
Background Cetacean morbillivirus, herpesvirus, avian influenza virus (AIV) and Brucella spp. have been linked to numerous cetacean strandings in the Northeast (NE) Atlantic.

Long-term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics. [PDF]
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

A South American Mouse Morbillivirus Provides Insight into a Clade of Rodent-Borne Morbilliviruses
Morbilliviruses are negative-sense single-stranded monosegmented RNA viruses in the family Paramyxoviridae (order Mononegavirales). Morbilliviruses infect diverse mammals including humans, dogs, cats, small ruminants, seals, and cetaceans, which serve as

Complete Genome Sequencing of the Divergent Guiana Dolphin Morbillivirus (GDMV), Brazil [PDF]
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) is a major threat to cetaceans worldwide, causing individual deaths and outbreaks of mass mortality. Based on partial sequences of the viral phosphoprotein, CeMV is subclassified into seven strains and two distinct lineages.

Portable Molecular Diagnostics for Cetacean Morbillivirus: Development of a Reverse Transcription Insulated Isothermal PCR (RT-iiPCR) for Global Surveillance. [PDF]
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) drives recurrent unusual‐mortality events, yet surveillance is uneven where laboratory capacity is limited. We developed a portable reverse transcription‐insulated isothermal PCR (RT‐iiPCR) assay targeting a conserved phosphoprotein (P)‐gene segment and evaluated analytical performance, tissue‐level clinical sensitivity ...

Morbillivirus Receptors and Tropism: Multiple Pathways for Infection
Morbilliviruses, which include measles virus (MeV), canine distemper virus, and rinderpest virus, are among the most important pathogens in their respective hosts and cause severe syndromes. Morbilliviruses are enveloped viruses with 2 envelope proteins,

Morbillivirus and coronavirus survey in stranded cetaceans, Brazil. [PDF]
Since 2010, Guiana dolphin morbillivirus (GDMV; family Paramyxoviridae, genus Morbillivirus, species Morbillivirus ceti, syn. Cetacean morbillivirus) is recognized as the cause of death of multiple cetacean species along the Brazilian coast, including an

Association of Haematological Parameters With TLR Genes in Healthy and Distemper-Infected Dogs Haematology and TLRs in Distemper. [PDF]
The distemper‐infected dogs presented with an upregulated expression of the immune recognition receptors TLR3, TLR4 and TLR9. In the distemper‐infected dogs, there was a positive correlation between the TLR1 and PWD, TLR4 and WBC, Gran and Gran%, TLR5 and HCT, TLR6 and Gran%, TLR7 and MCV and TLR7 and PDW, as well as a negative correlation between the ...

Drivers of Viral Diversity and Sharing in Marine Mammals. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Knowledge of viral infection in marine mammals, a group severely threatened by human activity, is largely limited to the pathology and epidemiology of few endemic viruses. The recent emergence in marine mammals of high‐consequence viruses, such as H5N1 avian influenza and rabies, underscores the importance of understanding the ecology of viral

Canine Distemper Virus in Mexico: A Risk Factor for Wildlife [PDF]
Canine distemper is caused by a morbillivirus similar to others that affect livestock and humans. The increase in host range and its persistence in wildlife reservoirs complicate eradication considerably.
