Abstract: Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV, family Paramyxoviridae) is a re-emergent pathogen associated with severe epizootic outbreaks causing high mortality among cetaceans worldwide. Recently, CeMV caused an unusual mortality event of Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) in Brazil. Partial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2209405119
Abstract: Significance Feline morbillivirus (FeMV) has been classified as a morbillivirus despite lacking several biological features shared by all other known viruses in the genus. We confirm that FeMV uses CD150 as a cellular receptor and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3201/eid2901.221549
Abstract: Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) causes illness and death in cetaceans worldwide; the CeMV strains circulating in the Southern Hemisphere are poorly known. We detected a pilot whale CeMV strain in 3 short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus)… read more here.
