Journal ArticleDOI
Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) Fatally Poisoned by Dinoflagellate Toxin
J. R. Geraci,Donald M. Anderson,Ralph J. Timperi,David J. St. Aubin,G. Early,John H. Prescott,Charles A. Mayo +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed a line of evidence to explain how whales, by virtue of their diving adaptations, may be particularly vulnerable to this systemic neurotoxin, saxitoxin (STX), which was found in New England waters and shellfish during the episode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass mortality of harbor seals: pneumonia associated with influenza A virus
J. R. Geraci,D. J. St. Aubin,Ian K. Barker,Robert G. Webster,V. S. Hinshaw,William J. Bean,H. L. Ruhnke,John H. Prescott,G. Early,A. S. Baker,S. Madoff,Robert T. Schooley +11 more
TL;DR: The similarities between this epizootic and other seal mortalities in the past suggest that these events may be linked by common biological and environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of two influenza A viruses from a pilot whale.
TL;DR: Serological, molecular, and biological analyses indicate that the whale isolates are closely related to the H13 influenza viruses from gulls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are seals frequently infected with avian influenza viruses
V. S. Hinshaw,William J. Bean,Robert G. Webster,Jerold E. Rehg,P. Fiorelli,G. Early,J. R. Geraci,D.J. St. Aubin +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that the seal viruses were most closely related antigenically and genetically to recent avian virus strains and were readily distinguishable from mammalian viruses, including H7N7 isolate recovered from seals in 1980.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of HCHs, PCBs, and DDTs in brain tissues of marine mammals off different age
Stephanie Mössner,Isabelle Barudio,Terry S. Spraker,George Antonelis,G. Early,J. R. Geraci,Paul R. Becker,Karlheinz Ballschmiter +7 more
TL;DR: Brain tissues of two neonatal and three stillborn northern fur seals and one adult female common dolphin stranded on the coast of Massachusetts showed clearly that α-HCH was dominant in all brain tissues compared with other tissues like liver or blubber, and no significant difference concerning the xenobiotic burden could be seen in contrast to the higher concentrations of the adult common dolphin.
