A workshop was organised to ascertain the current situation with regard to morbillivirus infections in aquatic animals. The great interest generated by the discovery of these new virus infections in 1988 has to some extent abated but much high quality research has continued in this field as the workshop showed. There is some serological evidence that the viruses have continued to circulate in most areas since the initial epizootics. As to their origin, it appears that the most likely source of the European seal morbillivirus (PDV-1) is the North Atlantic and Artic seal populations. As to the origin of the Mediterranean dolphin morbillivirus and the morbilliviruses isolated from porpoises, there is serological evidence that the viruses are widespread in many cetacean species in the Atlantic and 93% of long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) which mass stranded between 1982 and 1993 were morbillivirus seropositive. The epizootic in freshwater seals in Lake Baikal was unrelated to events in the European marine mammal populations. The virus which infected these animals (PDV-2) is indistinguishable from canine distemper field strains. Serological and molecular biological studies provided evidence for the presence of the virus in the seals, at least as late as the Summer of 1992 when the animals were last sampled.
组织了一次研讨会，以确定水生动物中麻疹病毒感染的现状。1988年发现这些新的病毒感染所引发的极大关注在一定程度上有所减弱，但正如研讨会所显示的，该领域仍在继续进行许多高质量的研究。有一些血清学证据表明，自最初的 epizootics 以来，这些病毒在大多数地区持续传播。关于它们的起源，欧洲海豹麻疹病毒（PDV-1）最可能的来源似乎是北大西洋和北极海豹种群。关于地中海海豚麻疹病毒和从鼠海豚分离出的麻疹病毒的起源，有血清学证据表明这些病毒在大西洋的许多鲸类物种中广泛存在，并且在1982年至1993年间大规模搁浅的长鳍领航鲸（Globicephala melas）中有93%的个体麻疹病毒血清呈阳性。贝加尔湖淡水海豹的 epizootic 与欧洲海洋哺乳动物种群的情况无关。感染这些动物的病毒（PDV-2）与犬瘟热野外毒株无法区分。血清学和分子生物学研究提供了证据，证明至少在1992年夏天动物最后一次采样时，海豹体内存在该病毒。
