| new recognition of enterovirus infections in bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus). | an enterovirus was cultured from an erosive tongue lesion of a bottlenose dolphin (tursiops truncatus). the morphology of virions on negative staining electron microscopy was consistent with those of enteroviruses. analysis of 2613 bp of the polyprotein gene identified the isolate as a novel enterovirus strain, tentatively named bottlenose dolphin enterovirus (bdev), that nests within the species bovine enterovirus. serologic evidence of exposure to enteroviruses was common in both free-ranging ... | 2009 | 19581059 |
