The combination of gross and histopathologic findings compatible with DMV with immunopositivity and molecular detection of DMV suggests that this DMV strain could cause this die-off event. Phylogenetic analysis, based on sequencing part of the phosphoprotein gene, showed that this isolate is a closely related dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) to that responsible for the 2006-2008 epizootics.

Our Lady of Dolours, Dolphins Barn Parish, Dublin - Live Streaming - 287 South Circular Road, Dolphins Barn, Dublin 8, Ireland. Gross and microscopic findings compatible with CeMV were found in the majority of analyzed animals. Subsequently, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Universal Probe Library (UPL) RT-PCR assays were performed to identify Morbillivirus. Necropsy and sample collection were performed in all stranded animals, with good state of conservation. Between March and April 2011, the number of strandings on the Valencian Community coast (E Spain) increased.
In the last 20 years, Cetacean Morbillivirus (CeMV) has been responsible for many die-offs in marine mammals worldwide, as clearly exemplified by the two dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) epizootics of 08, which affected Mediterranean striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba). The 2018 stranding of the Fraser’s dolphin revealed that we have a novel and very divergent strain of morbillivirus here in Hawaiian waters that we were previously unaware of, said Kristi West, associate researcher at UH Mnoa’s Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology who directs the Health and Stranding Lab.
