Primary structure of striped dolphin renal metallothionein II.

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1988
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.

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 ...

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.

First Record of Cetacean Killed in an Artisanal Fish Aggregating Device in the Mediterranean Sea

Animals, 2023
Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) are anchored floating structures often made with cheap scrapped materials and used to aggregate pelagic fish species under their artificial shadows. Globally, the dangerous impact of FADs is well known.

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

Bartonella species detection in captive, stranded and free-ranging cetaceans [PDF]

, 2008
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,
