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 ...

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 ...

Pathology of Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) Infected with Brucella ceti [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2010 Seventeen striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) displaying swimming disorders compatible with neurological syndromes were investigated for Brucella infection. Sixteen dolphins had meningoencephalomyelitis. Serum antibody against Brucella antigen was detected in all 14 animals tested and Brucella ceti was isolated from eight out of nine animals ...

Brucellosis in Marine Mammals: Meta-Analysis of Prevalence, Infection Patterns, Host Specificity and Zoonotic Potential. [PDF]
Vet Med SciMarine brucellosis shows high prevalence in cetaceans (52%), followed by other marine mammals (30%) and pinnipeds (18%), indicating species‐specific susceptibility. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and diagnostic strategies to mitigate ecological and zoonotic risks.

Portable Molecular Diagnostics for Cetacean Morbillivirus: Development of a Reverse Transcription Insulated Isothermal PCR (RT-iiPCR) for Global Surveillance. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisCetacean 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 ...

Diet of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) in southern Spanish waters
Marine Mammal Science, 2022 AbstractIdentifiable food remains were analyzed from 46 stomachs of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) stranded in southern Spain between 2007 and 2014. Results suggest that the species feeds mainly on mesopelagic and neritic fish, but also on oceanic squids.
