DNA- and RNA-genome viruses of whales and dolphins belong to families Poxviridae, Herpesviridae, Adenoviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Togaviridae, Picornaviridae. Virological, serological and pathomorphological signs of infection have been registered in Odontoceti (bottle-nosed dolphin, Atlantic white-sided dolphin, striped dolphin, harbona porpoise, white-beaked dolphin, common dolphin, sperm whale, pilot whale, white whale) and Musticeti (sei whale, fin whale, gray whale, and bowheaded whale). A brief characteristic of diseases is presented. No relations of some viruses with pathologic states of Cetacea were found.
鲸类和海豚的DNA及RNA基因组病毒属于痘病毒科、疱疹病毒科、腺病毒科、正粘病毒科、副粘病毒科、披膜病毒科、小核糖核酸病毒科。在齿鲸亚目(宽吻海豚、大西洋白侧海豚、条纹海豚、港湾鼠海豚、白喙海豚、普通海豚、抹香鲸、领航鲸、白鲸)和须鲸亚目(塞鲸、长须鲸、灰鲸、弓头鲸)中已记录到感染的病毒学、血清学及病理形态学特征。文中给出了疾病的简要特征。未发现某些病毒与鲸类病理状态之间的关联。
