| serological evidence of morbillivirus infection in small cetaceans from the southeast pacific. | the presence of morbillivirus-specific serum antibodies was examined by an indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ielisa) and virus neutralization tests in serum samples from 30 dusky dolphins (lagenorhynchus obscurus), 8 long-snouted common dolphins (delphinus capensis), 2 inshore and 6 offshore bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) and 20 burmeister's porpoises (phocoena spinipinnis) taken in fisheries off central peru in 1993-1995. the sera from six dusky dolphins, one common dolphin ... | 1998 | 9549850 |
| epizootic of morbilliviral disease in common dolphins (delphinus delphis ponticus) from the black sea. | forty-seven common dolphins (delphinus delphis ponticus) were stranded on the northern shores of the black sea between mid-july and early september 1994, more than in previous or subsequent years. two of the 47 dolphins were examined in detail to try to determine the cause of the increased stranding rate. their lesions included broncho-interstitial pneumonia with type ii epithelial cell hyperplasia and multinucleate syncytial cells, neuronal necrosis, gliosis, and non-suppurative meningitis of t ... | 1999 | 10097312 |
| morbillivirus-associated unusual mortality event in south australian bottlenose dolphins is largest reported for the southern hemisphere. | cases of morbillivirus have been recorded in the southern hemisphere but have not been linked to significant marine mammal mortality. post-mortems were conducted on 58 carcasses (44 indo-pacific bottlenose dolphins, two common bottlenose dolphins, 12 short-beaked common dolphins) from south australia during 2005-2013, including an unusual mortality event (ume) in st vincent gulf bioregion (svg) during 2013. diagnostic pathology, circumstance of death, body condition, age and stomach contents wer ... | 2016 | 28083115 |
| coinfection by streptococcus phocae and cetacean morbillivirus in a short-beaked common dolphin delphinus delphis. | we describe gross, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features of streptococcus phocae and cetacean morbillivirus coinfection in a short-beaked common dolphin delphinus delphis. major gross findings were cutaneous purulent nodules in the tail fluke, vegetative mitral valve endocarditis, and presumed postpartum pyometra. histologic examination revealed bacterial septicemia characterized by widespread intravascular coccoid bacterial emboli. these were associated with fibrinonecrotizing to ... | 2017 | 28492181 |
| host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals. | the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ... | 2017 | 28636590 |
