Drivers of Viral Diversity and Sharing in Marine Mammals. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Knowledge of viral infection in marine mammals, a group severely threatened by human activity, is largely limited to the pathology and epidemiology of few endemic viruses. The recent emergence in marine mammals of high‐consequence viruses, such as H5N1 avian influenza and rabies, underscores the importance of understanding the ecology of viral

Towards Integrated Surveillance of Marine Brucellosis: Diagnostic and Phylogenetic Assessment of Brucella ceti in Stranded Dolphins of the Western Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Reports of brucellosis in free‐ranging cetaceans are increasing worldwide, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea. To enhance diagnostic accuracy and epidemiological understanding of cetacean brucellosis in the Western Mediterranean Sea, we analyzed bacteriological, serological, and molecular data from 30 cetaceans belonging to three different species ...

Why do dolphins form mixed-species associations in the Azores ?

, 2008
Mixed-species associations are temporary associations between individuals of different species that are often observed in birds, primates and cetaceans.

Morbilliviral encephalitis in a striped dolphin Stenella coeruleoalba calf from Italy [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2011
A free-living, striped dolphin Stenella coeruleoalba calf was stranded on the Latium coast of Italy in November 2009. Significant neuropathological findings included non-suppurative meningoencephalitis, microgliosis, neuronal degeneration, astrocytosis, and occasional multinucleate syncytia.

Genetic heterogeneity of dolphin morbilliviruses detected in the Spanish Mediterranean in inter-epizootic period

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background In the last 20 years, Cetacean Morbillivirus (CeMV) has been responsible for many die-offs in marine mammals worldwide, as clearly exemplified by the three dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) epizootics of 1990–1992, 2006–2008 and 2011 that affected ...

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.

Mercury and selenium in stranded Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins and implications for their trophic transfer in food chains. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
As top predators in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) of China, Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) are bioindicators for examining regional trends of environmental contaminants in the PRE. We examined samples from stranded S.

Cellular Prion Protein Expression in the Brain Tissue from Brucella ceti-Infected Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba)

Animals, 2022
Brucella ceti, a zoonotic pathogen of major concern to cetacean health and conservation, is responsible for severe meningo-encephalitic/myelitic lesions in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), often leading to their stranding and death.
