Pathology of morbillivirus infections in marine mammals
peer reviewed Morbillivirus infections were described since 1988 in marine mammals including pinnipeds and cetaceans. Since, numerous outbreaks, responsible for thousands marine mammals death, as well as sporadic cases, have occurred in various populations from North Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea, Bai...

peer reviewed Morbillivirus infections were described since 1988 in marine mammals including pinnipeds and cetaceans.
