Body Burdens and Distribution of Mercury and Selenium in Striped Dolphins [PDF]
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1984 We examined variations in the burden of total mercury and selenium with age in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba). The amount of total mercury accumulated in the whole body increased with age and reached a constant level at about 16 years of age. The constant total mercury burden level in males was slightly higher than that of females.

Occurrence of Brucella ceti in striped dolphins from Italian Seas
PLOS ONE, 2020 Brucella ceti infections have been increasingly reported in cetaceans, although a very limited characterization of Mediterranean Brucella spp. isolates has been previously reported and relatively few data exist about brucellosis among cetaceans in Italy. To address this gap, we studied 8 cases of B.

Fatal Systemic Morbillivirus Infection in Bottlenose Dolphin, Canary Islands, Spain
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 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

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 ...
