A histological and NMR study of the melon of the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba)

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 2005
The melon, the echolocation organ of the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), was investigated by morphological and high-resolution (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods, in order to characterize structure and composition gradient at the histological and molecular level.

Trace elements in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the western Mediterranean

Environmental Pollution, 1998
Tissues obtained from Stenella coeruleoalba stranded along the Spanish and Italian Mediterranean coasts from 1987 to 1994 were analysed for cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn). The age, length and weight of the dolphins were recorded.

Evidence for chronic morbillivirus infection in the Mediterranean striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba)

Veterinary Microbiology, 1995
In the summer of 1990 an epizootic infection caused by a morbillivirus (DMV) killed several thousand striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) in the Mediterranean Sea. In 1991 and 1992 the epizootic reached Italian and Greek waters. The infection by DMV in the acute period of the epizootic caused encephalitis, pneumonia and depletion of lymph nodes ...

Merkel cells immunohistochemical study in striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) skin

Tissue and Cell, 2019
Cetacean mechanical senses, such as hearing, echolocation, active touch and the perception of water movements, are essential for their survival. Dolphins skin possesses dense packing of dermal papillae associated with the cutaneous ridges that suggests a sensory function, furthermore they are well innervated and very sensitive to touch.

Changes in the occurrence of common dolphins, striped dolphins and harbour porpoises in the English Channel and Bay of Biscay

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2008
Regular monitoring of the status of cetacean populations is essential for conservation, policy and management. By using a passenger ferry as a scientific research platform, this study provides information on seasonal, annual and longer-term changes in the occurrence of three cetacean species along a relatively fixed transect through the English Channel

The External and Middle Ear of the Striped Dolphin Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen 1833)

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2006
SummaryThe ear of cetaceans, and especially the middle ear, is very different from that of terrestrial mammals and shows specific adaptations to diving. Our research, performed on six Striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) stranded along the Italian coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, concentrated on the morphology of the external and middle ear of this

Morphology of the lymph nodes in bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the Adriatic Sea

Acta Veterinaria Hungarica, 2005
Morphology of the lymph nodes was examined in six bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and three striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the Adriatic Sea. All animals had been found dead in nature. One group of the nodes was taken from the tracheal branching area and was marked as bifurcational lymph node, and the other group was taken from ...

Micro- and macro-geographic variations of the whistles of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba)

2012
Stenella coeruleoalba, a cosmopolitan species distributed in tropical and temperate pelagic waters, is an extremely vocal dolphin with wide acoustic repertoire. This study analyses the geographic variability of the acoustic parameters of whistles between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, taking into account the intra basin variation ...

“BRAIN-ONLY” FORM OF DOLPHIN MORBILLIVIRUS INFECTION IN STRIPED DOLPHINS (STENELLA COERULEOALBA): PATHOGENETIC INSIGHTS

2015
Dolphin Morbillivirus (DMV), a highly pathogenic agent, can give rise to peculiar, “brain-only” forms of infection (BOFDI), in which evidence of viral antigen and/or genome can be found exclusively in the brain tissue from striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba)1-4 and, far less commonly, from bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)4.
