Primary structure of striped dolphin renal metallothionein II.
The complete amino acid sequence of metallothionein II isolated from kidneys of the striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba, is reported. The sequence was established by a gas phase protein sequencer using the fragments obtained by cyanogen bromide cleavage and protease digestions of the S-carboxamidomethylated protein.

Forebrain neuroanatomy of the neonatal and juvenile dolphin (T. truncatus & S. coeruloalba)
Knowledge of dolphin functional neuroanatomy mostly derives from post-mortem studies and non-invasive approaches (i.e. magnetic resonance imaging), due to limitations in experimentation on cetaceans.

Bartonella species detection in captive, stranded and free-ranging cetaceans [PDF]
We present prevalence of Bartonella spp. for multiple cohorts of wild and captive cetaceans. One hundred and six cetaceans including 86 bottlenose dolphins (71 free-ranging, 14 captive in a facility with a dolphin experiencing debility of unknown origin,
