A long-finned pilot whale with morbilliviral disease was stranded in New Jersey. An immunohistochemical stain demonstrated morbilliviral antigen. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for morbillivirus P and N genes was positive. Novel sequences most closely related to, but distinct from, those of dolphin and porpoise morbilliviruses suggest that this virus may represent a third member of the cetacean morbillivirus group.
一头患有麻疹病毒病的长鳍领航鲸搁浅在新泽西州。免疫组织化学染色显示出麻疹病毒抗原。针对麻疹病毒P基因和N基因的逆转录聚合酶链反应呈阳性。与海豚和鼠海豚麻疹病毒的序列密切相关但又有所不同的新序列表明，这种病毒可能代表鲸类麻疹病毒组的第三个成员。
