Dolphin Morbillivirus Infection in a Captive Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina).

During the second morbillivirus epidemic (2007 to 2011) in cetaceans along the Italian coastline, dolphin morbillivirus (DMV)was detected by molecular analyses in a captive harbor seal (Phoca vitulina), with pathological findings consistent with morbillivirusinfection.

Summary:During the second morbillivirus epidemic (2007 to 2011) in cetaceans along the Italian coastline, dolphin morbillivirus (DMV)was detected by molecular analyses in a captive harbor seal (Phoca vitulina), with pathological findings consistent with morbillivirusinfection. This report confirms interspecies DMV transmission from cetaceans to pinnipeds.[.]
