This study revealed that 41.9% of wild-born Japanese captive dolphins (18 out of 43 dolphins) have neutralizing antibodies specific to cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV). This finding indicates a widespread yet undetected CeMV infection among wild dolphins in the waters around Japan, occurring without notable epidemic or mass mortality of dolphins.
这项研究表明,41.9%在野外出生的日本圈养海豚(43头海豚中有18头)具有针对鲸类麻疹病毒(CeMV)的中和抗体。这一发现表明,在日本周边海域的野生海豚中存在一种广泛但未被发现的CeMV感染,这种感染在没有明显的海豚流行病或大规模死亡的情况下发生。
