This study describes the pathologic findings and most probable causes of death (CD) of 224
cetaceans stranded along the coastline of the Canary Islands (Spain) over a 7-year period …

From 1990 to 1992, an epizootic produced a massive die-off of striped dolphins in the

Morbillivirus infections which were not documented in aquatic mammalsuntil 1988, have
caused at least five epizootics in these species during the last 10 years. Affected populations …

The causes of cetacean stranding and death along the Catalan coast between 2012 and
