Morbillivirus Infections: An Introduction [PDF]
Research on morbillivirus infections has led to exciting developments in recent years. Global measles vaccination coverage has increased, resulting in a significant reduction in measles mortality. In 2011 rinderpest virus was declared globally eradicated – only the second virus to be eradicated by targeted vaccination.

First report of feline morbillivirus in Europe. [PDF]
Feline morbillivirus was detected in urine samples of a 15 year old cat suffering from severe nephropathy. Viral RNA was not detected in blood and faecal samples and also the most common pathogens associated to cat kidney failure were not found. This report describes the first evidence of feline morbillivirus in Europe.

Morbillivirus Downregulation of CD46 [PDF]
ABSTRACTThere is evidence that CD46 (membrane cofactor protein) is a cellular receptor for vaccine and laboratory-passaged strains of measles virus (MV). Following infection with these MV strains, CD46 is downregulated from the cell surface, and consequent complement-mediated lysis has been shown to occur upon infection of a human monocytic cell line ...

Neuropathological Characterization of Dolphin Morbillivirus Infection in Cetaceans Stranded in Italy
Simple Summary There is abundant literature reporting demyelination in dogs and pinnipeds affected by morbillivirus infection, but myelinopathy is poorly investigated in stranded cetaceans affected with the virus.

Feline morbillivirus infection associated with fatal encephalitis in a Bengal cat
Feline morbillivirus (FeMV) is a recently discovered morbillivirus of the family Paramyxoviridae, which include several highly contagious viruses with zoonotic potential. In this case report we describe the detection of FeMV in archived brain tissue of a

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

The first study on confirmation and risk factors of acute and chronic canine distemper in stray dogs in Wasit Province, Iraq, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
Background and Aim: In Iraq, stray dogs represent a critical population of free-roaming animals, which probably play a role in the transmission of different infections to other animals.

Mediterranean Fin Whales (Balaenoptera physalus) Threatened by Dolphin MorbilliVirus
During 2011–2013, dolphin morbillivirus was molecularly identified in 4 stranded fin whales from the Mediterranean Sea. Nucleoprotein, phosphoprotein, and hemagglutinin gene sequences of the identified strain were highly homologous with those of a ...
