| antibodies to brucella in marine mammals around the coast of england and wales. | following the isolation of previously unrecognised species of brucella from stranded seals and cetaceans in scotland and northern england, a serological survey was carried out to investigate the range of marine mammal species which may have been exposed to brucella species around the coasts of england and wales, the prevalence of infection and the temporal and geographical distribution of seropositive animals. serum collected from 153 stranded marine mammals from the coasts of england and wales ... | 1997 | 9416675 |
| helicobacter cetorum infection in striped dolphin (stenella coeruleoalba), atlantic white-sided dolphin (lagenorhynchus acutus), and short-beaked common dolphin (delphinus delphus) from the southwest coast of england. | helicobacter infection in cetaceans was first reported from the us in 2000 when the isolation of a novel helicobacter species was described from two atlantic white-sided dolphins (lagenorhynchus acutus). since then, helicobacter species have been demonstrated in cetaceans and pinnipeds from around the world. since 1990, the animal health and veterinary laboratories agency polwhele, truro, has been involved in the uk cetacean strandings investigation programme to establish the cause of death of c ... | 2014 | 24807181 |
| postmortem evidence of interactions of bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) with other dolphin species in south-west england. | reports of violent interactions between bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) and harbour porpoises (phocoena phocoena) in the coastal waters of the uk are well documented. examination of stranded cetaceans by the cornwall wildlife trust marine strandings network and the uk cetacean strandings investigation programme has indicated that seven animals, of four other species, found stranded in south-west england, had pathology consistent with bottlenose dolphin interaction, including two juvenil ... | 2009 | 19820259 |
| entanglement in fishing gear and other causes of death in cetaceans stranded on the coasts of england and wales. | between august 1990 and september 1995 the carcases of 422 cetaceans of 12 species that had died around the coasts of england and wales were examined. there were 234 harbour porpoises (phocoena phocoena), 138 common dolphins (delphinus delphis), and 50 individuals of 10 other species of dolphins and whales. the cause of death was diagnosed in the harbour porpoises and common dolphins was entanglement in fishing gear (bycatch). of the cases in which the cause of death was established, 66 (38 per ... | 1997 | 9265709 |
| mass mortality of common dolphins (delphinus delphis) in south west england due to incidental capture in fishing gear. | in the first quarter of 1992, 118 dolphin carcases, of which 54 were positively identified as common dolphins (delphinus delphis), were found stranded on the coast of cornwall and devon. to determine the cause, detailed post mortem examinations were carried out on 38 of the carcases, and the results were compared with those from 20 common dolphins that stranded on the coast of cornwall and devon in the previous 15 months. there was no evidence that the deaths were due to an infectious or parasit ... | 1994 | 8178416 |
| organochlorine pesticides and chlorobiphenyls in the blubber of bycaught female common dolphins from england and wales from 1992-2006. | we report concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (hcb, hchs, ddts, dieldrin) and pcbs in the blubber of 43 common dolphins bycaught in fisheries operating off the sw coast of the uk from 1992 to 2006. concentrations of σddt (summed p,p'-ddt and its metabolites, p,p'-dde and p,p'-tde) and of 25 summed cb congeners ranged from 0.2 to 16.1 and 2.1 to 62.4 mg kg(-1) lipid weight, respectively. concentrations of sum hch, hcb and dieldrin were lower, ranging from not detected to 0.14, 0.01 to 0.2 ... | 2013 | 23339877 |
