A virus found in dolphins and whales.
Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi Health and Stranding Lab have made a remarkable discovery: a novel virus that is potentially fatal to whales and dolphins. This virus was previously found in only one marine mammal, a Longman’s beaked whale stranded on Maui in 2010, but has now been identified in 10 whale and dolphin host species across the Pacific. This is a significant breakthrough that could help us better understand and protect these majestic creatures.
