This was later identified as a strain of the closely related canine distemper virus (CDV) and was probably transmitted to the seals from terrestrial animals, CDV being widespread in canines in the Lake Baikal region.
A third Morbillivirus, named porpoise morbillivirus was identified as the cause.
In 2002, an epidemic of PDV along the North Sea coast resulted in the deaths of 21,700 seals, estimated to be 51% of the population.

We sequenced segments of the morbillivirus P gene from 29 dolphin specimens (1 striped and 28 bottlenose dolphins) from the 1987-88 Atlantic epizootic; sequence sufficient for viral identification was obtained in 25 (86%) of 29 cases.
The morbillivirus infecting striped dolphins in the Mediterranean Sea epizootic was identified as DMV (6).
Enzootic morbillivirus infection of two species of pilot whale (Globicephala melas and G. macrorhynchus) was recently demonstrated in animals in the western Atlantic (19), with the earliest titer from a pilot whale stranded in 1982.

 Morbillivirus Pneumonia of Horses
To the editor: On September 22 and 23, 1994, veterinary authorities in Queensland and at the CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory were advised of an outbreak of acute respiratory disease in horses at a stable in the Brisbane suburb of Hendra.
Serologic testing of all horses on quarantined properties and within 1 km of the Hendra stable, and a sample of horses from the rest of Queensland was undertaken (Table 1).
Although persistent virus excretion or carrier states are not known to occur in other morbillivirus infections, this equine virus is unique and it cannot be presumed to behave similarly.

 epidemic
The morbillivirus is a relatively new virus that primarily attacks the immune system of an organism.
They tested many of the dolphins' organs and the morbillivirus antigen was found in lung, brain and lymph tissues "confirming that the isolated virus [was] a morbillivirus" (Domingo et al, 1990).
Upon testing it was shown that the virus these seals were infected with was in fact the morbillivirus and that it was closely related to the morbillivirus found in dolphins.

The morbillivirus affecting harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) in Northern Europe and North America is caused by a morbillivirus, phocine distemper virus-1 (PDV-1), similar to, yet antigenically distinct, from canine distemper virus.
The morbillivirus, phocid distemper virus-2 (PDV-2), isolated from Siberian seals (Phoca siberica) in Lake Baikal is closely related to a field strain of canine distemper virus found in Germany.
The phocine herpesvirus-2 was isolated from a California sea lion with a severe bacterial pneumonia, free ranging harbor seals and from seals with abortions during the early epizootic of morbillivirus infection in Northern Europe.

 ARS | Publication request: Re-Emergence of Bordetella Bronchispetica During the Recent Seal Morbillivirus Outbreak
During the 1988 phocine morbillivirus outbreak in the North Sea B. bronchiseptica was a frequent secondary pathogen causing tracheitis and bronchopneumonia in common seals (Phoca vitulina).
In the Caspian sea during 2000 there was a morbillivirus outbreak amongst Caspian seals (Phoca caspica) and again B. bronchiseptica was often isolated as a secondary pathogen.
In 2002 there was a new morbillivirus epidemic in the North Sea, which affected grey as well as common seals, during which a significant increase in the incidence of B. bronchiseptica was also evident in sick animals.

Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for morbillivirus P and N genes was positive.
In the last 12 years, newly recognized members of the morbillivirus family have caused many deaths among marine mammals, specifically cetaceans and pinnipeds (1).
Sequence analysis of fragments of the morbillivirus phosphoprotein (P) and nucleoprotein (N) genes suggests that this is a novel morbillivirus, phylogenetically related to, but distinct from, the other cetacean morbilliviruses, PMV and DMV.

Her behavior suggested nervous system injury, which could have been due to morbillivirus, but could as well have been due to parasites (flukes) burrowing into the brain.

 The world without rinderpest
A morbillivirus of unknown pathogenicity was identified in American cattle by sequence analysis during the course of rinderpest cloning experiments using primary bovine lymphocytes (Baron et al., 1994) and in 1995 an unusual pulmonary infection in man and horses in Australia was ascribed to a new “equine morbillivirus” (Gould, 1996).
Each morbillivirus has a quite distinct RNA sequence and it is easy to identify regions of the genome where the sequence is reasonably well conserved within each virus species but different enough from the other morbilliviruses to be specific; a portion of the fusion (F) protein gene fulfils these criteria.
The probe, being equally related to the persisting morbillivirus and to rinderpest, detected the gene from the persisting virus.

 EPA - Endocrine | Morbillivirus Infection In Bottlenose Dolphins
It has been postulated that anunderlying cause of these mass mortalities may be decreased levels of resistance toinfection, as a consequence of exposure to immunosuppressive environmental pollutants(e.g., PCB's, dioxins and furans, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and certain heavy metals).
Several approaches will be evaluated for estimation of pollutant levels, centeringon the ability of the most immunotoxic of these chemicals to bind to the aryl hydrocarbonreceptor (AhR).
