Abstract: Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) is an important global cause of morbidity and mortality in cetacean populations, with four pathological presentations including non-suppurative encephalitis. We describe an unusual case of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV)-associated non-suppurative encephalitis in a… read more here.

Abstract: Members of the Delphinidae family are widely distributed across the world's oceans. We used a viral metagenomic approach to identify viruses in orca (Orcinus orca) and short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus) muscle, kidney, and liver… read more here.

Abstract: Cetaceans (dolphins, whales, and porpoises) have large and anatomically sophisticated brains. To expand our understanding of the cellular makeup of cetacean brains and the similarities and divergence between the brains of cetaceans and terrestrial mammals,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jzo.70053
Abstract: Odontocetes are key predators in marine food webs, but knowledge of their habitat use and trophic niche still needs to be improved. In this study, we used carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes to… 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.
