Dolphin Morbillivirus: a lethal but valuable infection model

Dolphin Morbillivirus (DMV), which has caused at least four epidemics in the Western Mediterranean during the last 20–25 years, may dramatically impact the health and conservation of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) living in this area. The viral and host factors driving the host–DMV interac...

Sumario:Dolphin Morbillivirus (DMV), which has caused at least four epidemics in the Western Mediterranean during the last 20–25 years, may dramatically impact the health and conservation of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) living in this area. The viral and host factors driving the host–DMV interaction, along with those related to the climate change that underlie the occurrence of DMV epidemics, warrant further investigation.
