Morbillivirus in common seals stranded on the coasts of Belgium and northern France during summer 1998
peer reviewed Sixteen common seals (Phoca vitulina) were stranded on the Belgian and northern French coasts during the summer of 1998. Eleven (10 pups and one adult) were sampled for histopathological, immunohistochemical, serological. bacteriological, parasitological and virological investigations....
