- Abstract
The article discusses a study which supports the previous hypothesis that pilot whales have a species-adapted morbillivirus. Topics discussed include information on the four strains of cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) that have been detected in the global cetacean population, and the recent deaths of three short-finned pilot whales caused by pilot whale morbillivirus (PWMV) in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean along the coast of the Canary Islands, Spain.
