An epizootic of morbillivirus infection killed thousands of common seals (Phoca vitulina) in European seas in 1988. Most of the affected seals had respiratory signs and the main post mortem finding was acute pneumonia. The histopathological changes were similar to those of canine distemper. Six common porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) found stranded on the coast of Northern Ireland in late 1988 had similar lesions. Morbillivirus infection also killed several thousand Siberian seals (Phoca siberica) in Lake Baikal in 1987 and 1988. A morbillivirus (phocine distemper virus) has been isolated from affected seals in several European countries and studies of the antigenicity of the virus indicate that it has several unique epitopes that distinguish it from the other known morbilliviruses. Biochemical studies of the viral proteins, RNA and nucleotide sequence confirm that it is a new morbillivirus. There is seroepizootiological evidence of morbillivirus infection in Greenland harp seals (Pagophilus ...

Phocine morbillivirus, formerly Phocine distemper virus (PDV), is a paramyxovirus of the genus Morbillivirus that is pathogenic for pinniped species, particularly seals.[2] Clinical signs include laboured breathing, fever and nervous symptoms. PDV was first identified in 1988 as the cause of death of 18,000 harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and 300 grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) along the northern European coast.[3] In 2002, an epidemic of PDV along the North Sea coast resulted in the deaths of 21,700 seals, estimated to be 51% of the population. Antibodies to PDV have been found in a number of carnivorous mammal species in the Western North Atlantic, including polar bears, and the Atlantic walrus.[3] The suddenness of the emergence of PDV and related viruses in aquatic mammals has implicated environmental changes as the cause. Pollutants have been posited as contributors by interfering with the ability of animals to mount a defense against infection. Alternatively, climate change and overfishing ...

The measles is a potentially fatal disease caused by a Morbillivirus, and it is one of the most highly contagious diseases that infect humans. The disease, once rendered rare in the industrialized world, has made a comeback in recent years, largely due to low rates of vaccination. But the name measles is an odd one with an innocuous connotation that belies how dangerous the disease really is. Where does the name measles come from? Measles comes from a Germanic root, but its exact route into English is uncertain. It appears by the early fourteenth century and is either a borrowing of the Middle Dutch masels or the Middle Low German maselen. Both of these Germanic etymons are plural, just like the English word. The Old Saxon masala is a blood blister, and the diseases name comes from the red pustules that appear on the skin during the course of the disease. The first known use of the word in English is from before 1325 in Walter of Bibbesworths Tretiz. Bibbesworth, an Essex knight, wrote the ...

Roald Dahl wrote a heartbreaking essay about the death of his eldest daughter Olivia, who died after contracting measles at just seven years old.

The nucleoprotein (N) gene of Hendra virus (HeV), an unclassified member of subfamily Paramyxovirinae in the family Paramyxoviridae previously known as equine morbillivirus, was cloned and sequenced. The majority of the deduced amino acid sequence was further confirmed by direct sequencing of peptide fragments of the N protein derived from purified virions. The 3' untranslated sequence of the HeV N gene mRNA was 568 nt and was much longer than that observed in other Paramyxovirinae. The N protein was 532 amino acids in length with a molecular mass of 58.5 kDa. Although the HeV N protein had a slightly higher amino acid sequence identity to those of the genus Morbillivirus than to those of other Paramyxovirinae genera, the level of identity was much lower than that observed within the morbilliviruses. Our results indicated that HeV could not confidently be classified as a member of the genus Morbillivirus, Paramyxovirus or Rubulavirus and suggest that the virus be classified in a new genus within

Morbillivirus Infections: Infections with viruses of the genus MORBILLIVIRUS, family PARAMYXOVIRIDAE. Infections mainly cause acute disease in their hosts, although in some cases infection is persistent and leads to degenerative conditions.

Equine morbillivirus pneumonia is an acute viral respiratory infection of horses caused by Hendra virus. Characteristic clinical signs include fever, anorexia, depression, increased respiratory and heart rates, respiratory distress, and death in a high percentage of affected animals. Facial edema, frothy nasal discharge, cyanotic/jaundiced mucous membranes and mild neurologic signs have been less frequently observed in field and/or experimental cases of the disease.. Etiology and Pathogenesis: Hendra virus is a large, pleomorphic enveloped RNA virus, and the prototype virus of the genus Henipavirus. Although initially considered to be more closely related to members of the genus Morbillivirus than to other genera in the family Paramyxoviridae, studies have shown only low-level sequence homology with respiroviruses, morbilliviruses, and rubuloviruses and negligible immunologic cross-reactivity with other paramyxoviruses, reacting very weakly by immunofluorescence and protein immunoblot analysis ...

A separate genus of Henipavirus within the Paramyxoviridae family was created after the discovery of 2 new viruses causing zoonotic outbreaks, which were named after the HeV and NiV. HeV (initially named equine morbillivirus) was isolated during 2 outbreaks in 1994 at a stable in Hendra, a suburb of Brisbane, Australia, causing the deaths of 16 horses, a trainer, and another animal handler.20 Ongoing HeV outbreaks in Australia have been reported, with a total of 94 equine disease cases, 7 human cases, and 4 deaths as of 2015, typically in veterinarians or animal handlers, with a fatality rate of 80% in horses and 57% in humans.21,22 The virus presents with an acute febrile respiratory disease and neurologic symptoms (eg, confusion, ataxia, and seizures) in humans. Brain MR imaging showed widespread cortical lesions with sparing of the subcortical white matter on T2-weighted images, similar in appearance to subacute sclerosing panencephalitis caused by measles, the prototypic ...

Marine mammal conservationists warn of a contagious respiratory pathogen, cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV), that could potentially harm already endangered orca populations. Like the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that is causing the current COVID-19 pandemic, CeMV similarly has high transmission and mortality rates. With orcas being highly social animals, an outbreak could threaten entire pod populations, in turn drastically affecting the ecosystem, since orcas are apex predators. According to National Geographic , more than a million cetaceans ( whales , dolphins and porpoises) are eliminated each year through bycatch [species caught unintentionally by fishermen], intentional killing, ship strikes, seismic surveys done for oil exploration, and naval sonar. Oil spills are another risk, as are municipal and industrial waste polluting their marine environment. Chemicals accumulating in marine food chains are thereby ingested, leading to high toxicity levels that suppress cetacean immune systems. ...

Theres something strange here.. I didnt have my vaccine paperwork when I entered medical school, due to having had a very chaotic childhood. I also hadnt had a vaccine for chicken pox or mumps, but I had, however, had those diseases.. Even in those days, lab tests easily showed positive antibody titers for all relevant diseases. My lack of records necessitated some redundant blood draws and lab tests, but that was it.. 1) If your husband was correctly vaccinated in the first place he should have had detectable immunity, absent an immune deficiency condition. If he wasnt immune, either he wasnt vaccinated or something odd was going on.. 2) I suppose its possible that they just vaccinated him, rather than checking antibody titers or anything. That should have made him immune to measles after a short period of time.. 3) What lab test came back negative for measles after he became sick?. I can see three logical possibilities - A) He was never previously vaccinated, they vaccinated him, he was ...

One must also remember that during the 1950s is when we first started tissue cultures, scientists were new to it. They didnt realize cells could be infected with viruses and show no signs (latency)... virology was also in its infancy because without tissue culture, scientists had a hard time studying them. You can only do so much in animals and viruses dont grow on laboratory media like bacteria. So I dont think it was deliberate nor even negligent - they just didnt know.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay Hundreds Quarantined for Measles at Two Los Angeles Unive

A virus similar to measles in humans is being blamed for the deaths of hundreds of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.. Experts at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say the Morbillivirus infects the lungs and the brain, causes pneumonia and abnormal behaviour, and is often fatal.. The outbreak has killed 333 bottlenose dolphins in the mid-Atlantic region since July, and may last for a year, possibly being worse than an outbreak 25 years ago which killed more than 740 animals.. Teri Rowles of the NOAA Fisheries Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program says experts are worried about a repeat of those deaths.. We are expecting that if indeed this plays out the way that die-off occurred, that we are looking at mortality being higher and morbillivirus spreading southward and likely continuing until spring of 2014, she said.. Nine times the average number of dolphins have washed up along the shores of the east coast this summer.. Most of the dolphins found on beaches have ...

2. This is not second degree AV block type II or Mobitz II. This is second degree AV block 2:1. During sinus rhythm, 2 to 1 AV block may manifest as 2 P waves followed by 1 QRS. This is a subtype of second degree AV block. A 2:1 AV block could either be second degree AV block type I (Mobitz I or Wenckebach) or type II (Mobitz II) . A long strip is needed to capture the mechanism or true nature of a 2:1 AV block. In telemetry floors, this is easily done by going back to beginning of the drop. Reviewing the beginning of the cycle showed 2:1 and 3:2 AV block pattern (Figure 3) . The 3:2 pattern clearly showed prolongation of the PR interval (0.28 sec/0.36 sec) before the dropped P wave.

American airline Delta released a statment to Local 4 regarding a possible case of measles at Detroit Metropolitan Airport that was reported Saturday.

The canine distemper occurs as a result of a morbillivirus; the same kind of microorganism that leads to humans measles. It is more commonly known as the canine distemper virus or CDV. It is a serious and extremely contagious disease which not only infects dogs but also ferrets, skunks and other animals. It does not, however, affect domestic cats since feline distemper is caused by another, different virus. The replication of the virus initially occurs in the lymphatic tissue of the animal and then finds its way, via the circulatory system, to other areas of the body. It is not uncommon for the dog to die suddenly after being infected. Dogs are of a greater risk between the ages of three and six months old as the immune systems of the puppies have not yet matured. There is a high occurrence of canine distemper in areas where there are many unvaccinated dogs. Therefore, considered a major disease in dogs in the UK, vaccination is highly recommended by veterinarians ...

Measles virus is a member of the genus Morbillivirus within the family Paramyxovirus. Measles virus differes from other members of the family in that it lacks neuraminidase. There is only one measles serotype, so recovery from natural infection confers lifelong immunity. Measles is one of five childhood exanthems, the others being rubella, varicella, roseola and fifth disease. Humans are the only known host for measles virus.. Epidemiology Measles is one of the most contagious human diseases. Vaccination has reduced the global incidence of measles, yet the World Health Organization reports there are still 45 million cases annually and 1.2 million deaths.. Transmission The principal mode of transmission is via large droplets of infected respiratory secretions inhaled during face-to-face exposure with coughing and sneezing individuals. This occurs during the catarrhal stage of the disease.. Pathogenesis Natural infection is initiated when measles virus reaches epithelial cells in the respiratory ...

Seven Longmans beaked whales (Indopacetus pacificus) stranded together in southern New Caledonia on 16 November 2013 (one adult male, two adult females, two subadult females, one calf, and one unknown). At this time, we have no evidence to suggest that this event was an atypical mass stranding associated with active naval sonar or other anthropogenic activities. The adult females were slightly larger (618 640 cm) than the adult male (590 cm). The length of the calf (ca. 300 cm) suggests it was less than a year old. Five of the whales were sampled for mitochondrial (mt) DNA analysis to confirm species identification. All shared the same haplotype over 680 bp of the mtDNA control region. High concentrations of Hg, Fe, Se, Zn (all in the liver), and Cd (in the kidneys) were detected. Necropsies revealed plastic debris in the stomach of two of the whales. One of these same whales had chronic gastritis while the other had acute pleurisy and also tested positive for morbillivirus. This infection may ...
