The genus Morbillivirus (Paramyxoviridae family, Mononegavirales order) shows single-stranded RNA and consists of antigenically related species, including the human measles, canine distemper, rinderpest and peste des petits ruminants, among others. They are characterized by acute infection, high transmissibility and high mortality rates. Since 1988, when Morbillivirus infection was discov…
Morbillivirus is an emergent pathogen associated with severe epizootic outbreaks causing high number of deaths among pinnipeds and cetaceans. In Brazil only recently the virus was associated to cetacean mortality. Preliminary studies indicate that several cetacean species that have stranded and subsequently died along the Brazilian coast were infected showing that the virus may be more co…
This research proposal aims to investigate the pathological changes in tissues of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), identify possible diseases and evaluate the occurrence of Morbillivirus infection in selected tissues using immunohistopathological techniques. We intend to review histopathological material selected from 250 samples of skin from whales, as well as to review histopat…
