Abstract: During 2011–2013, dolphin morbillivirus was molecularly
identified in 4 stranded fin whales from the Mediterranean Sea.
Nucleoprotein, phosphoprotein, and hemagglutinin gene sequences of the
identified strain were highly homologous with those of a morbillivirus
that caused a 2006–2007 epidemic in the Mediterranean. Dolphin
morbillivirus represents a serious threat for fin whales.
The paper is available online on Emerging Infectious Diseases as ahead
