Current OutbreakNOAA declared a
Unusual Mortality Event (UME) for bottlenose dolphins (Turnsiops truncatus) in the Northeast United States in July 2013
An epizootic

Morbillivirus spp. Genus Morbillivirus is a group of single-
stranded RNA virusesHighly contagious, even between speciesSymptoms
Skin lesions PnuemoniaBrain InfectionsSecondary infections

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)Chemicals used in agriculture for pest
control, disease control, and increased crop production Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)Dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT)
Cause variety of adverse effectsAccumulate and persist in environmentReadily travel long distances

POP Biomagnification"Biomagnification is the sequence of processes in an ecosystem by which higher concentrations of a particular chemical are reached in organisms higher up the food chain, generally through a series of prey-predator relationships.“ - Oxford Dictionary, 2008

POPs as ImmunosuppressantsAguilar and Borrel (1994)Studied
Morbillivirus epizootic in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) the Mediterranean Sea from 1990-1992
Discovered that concentrations of PCBs were significantly higher during a Morbillivirus outbreak

Methods:Dolphins were classified as ‘infected’
or ‘healthy’ Tissue samples taken PCB concentrations measuredCompared infected dolphins to healthy
dolphins

ConclusionsVirus susceptibility is complex
Cetaceans be negatively impacted by high levels of ocean pollutants
More studies need to be done researching the implications of POPs as immunosuppressants in marine mammals

Future GoalsEstablish more conclusive causes of
susceptibilityContinue to lower POP emissionsUse current outbreak to uncover more
data Eradicate disease
