Molecular investigation of endoparasites of marine mammals (Cetacea: Mysticeti, Odontoceti) in the Western Mediterranean [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntroductionWhales, dolphins, and porpoises are susceptible to infections by protozoan and metazoan parasites.MethodsIn this study, tissue samples, as well as flatworms and roundworms, were collected from a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus),

Visual lateralization in wild striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) in response to stimuli with different degrees of familiarity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Apart from findings on both functional and motor asymmetries in captive aquatic mammals, only few studies have focused on lateralized behaviour of these species in the wild.

First report of three different parasite species in two dolphin species stranded on the coast of Portugal [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeUnderstanding the dynamics of the interaction of marine parasites with their hosts, especially in terms of diversity, distribution and pathogenicity can be of great importance in a Global Change era.

Long-term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThis 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 ...

Flipper development in the Mediterranean striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 1996 Studies of population biology are scarce in Mediterranean striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) mostly because of the lack of samples. Until now, studies of physical maturity, growth, and development of the flipper bones were not available for this species in the Mediterranean.The osteological features and metric characters of the pectoral limbs of ...

Neurobrucellosis in Stranded Dolphins, Costa Rica
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 Ten striped dolphins, Stenella coeruleoalba, stranded along the Costa Rican Pacific coast, had meningoencephalitis and antibodies against Brucella spp. Brucella ceti was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid of 6 dolphins and 1 fetus. S.

Dolphin Morbillivirus Epizootic Resurgence, Mediterranean Sea
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 In July 2007, >100 striped dolphins, Stenella coeruleoalba, were found dead along the coast of the Spanish Mediterranean. Of 10 dolphins tested, 7 were positive for a virus strain closely related to the dolphin morbillivirus that was isolated during a ...
