Molecular Epidemiology of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus Circulating in Fat‐Tailed Sheep in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study reports the molecular detection and genetic characterization of peste des petits ruminants virus in fat‐tailed sheep in Bangladesh. Phylogenetic analysis reveals transboundary lineage circulation, highlighting silent virus movement during high‐risk livestock trading periods and the need for strengthened regional surveillance.

Morbillivirus in monk seal mass mortality [PDF]

Nature, 1997
We have identified a morbillivirus in organs of Mediterranean monk seals (Monachus monachus), lost during a recent mass die-off. About half of the population of this highly endangered species, which inhabits the Mauritanian coast of West Africa (Cap Blanc), were killed.

Killer Whales in the Central Tropical Pacific: Occurrence, Resightings, Morphology, and Acoustics

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Compared to their well‐studied coastal temperate counterparts, killer whales (Orcinus orca) in tropical‐subtropical and oceanic areas are under‐documented. We used sighting, photo‐identification, and acoustic data of killer whales in the central tropical Pacific (CTP), collected from multiple platforms between 2002 and 2023, to assess their ...

Entry Mechanism of Morbillivirus Family

YAKUGAKU ZASSHI, 2013
The genus Morbillivirus includes measles virus, canine distemper virus and rinderpest virus. These are highly contagious and exhibit high mortality. These viruses have the attachment glycoprotein, hemagglutinin (H), at the virus surface, which bind to signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) and Nectin 4 as receptors for the entry.

Hemagglutinin protein of Peste des Petits Ruminants virus (PPRV) activates the innate immune response via Toll-like receptor 2 signaling

Virulence, 2021
The toll-like receptor (TLR) family comprises both cell-surface and intracellular receptors that recognize different types of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and subsequent ...

Sequestration and Destruction of Rinderpest Virus–Containing Material 10 Years after Eradication

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
In 2021, the world marked 10 years free from rinderpest. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and World Organisation for Animal Health have since made great strides in consolidating, sequencing, and destroying stocks of rinderpest virus ...

From Natural to Human‐Dominated Seascapes: Habitat Loss for Guiana Dolphins Over Two Decades

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Changes in natural environments, such as coastal and marine zones, caused by human activities impact the quality of habitats and their inhabitants, ultimately jeopardising species conservation. As human activity is ever‐increasing, it is imperative to understand how multiple stressors, such as shipping, fisheries and pollution, affect marine ...

Evaluation of Selected Brain Damage Biomarkers in the Determination of Brain Damage in Dogs With Neurological Distemper

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
In this study, a significant increase in serum NSE, GFAP, CK‐B, IgM and IgM concentrations was determined in dogs with nervous distemper. It was shown that NSE, GFAP and CK‐B biomarkers have a useful and reliable diagnostic value in determining brain damage in dogs with nervous distemper .

Sharing Is Caring?—Pathogens and Pathogen‐Specific Antibodies in Arctic Endemic Seal Species and the Newly Sympatric Harbor Seals in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change associated transformations of Arctic marine ecosystems are having detrimental impacts on Arctic endemic marine mammals. However, warming conditions are providing new habitats for temperate marine mammals, some of which are expanding into Arctic regions, posing a threat of novel pathogen introduction and disease transmission.
