Severe, nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis was found in 4 animals, as characterized by prominent perivascular mononuclear cell cuffing and macrophage accumulations in neuropil. These lesions were associated with mild lymphocytic\u2013plasmacytic infiltration of choroid plexuses in 1 dolphin. Toxoplasma gondii cysts and zoites, confirmed by immunohistochemical labeling, were scattered throughout the brain parenchyma of 2 of the 4 dolphins. No viral inclusions were seen in the brain of any animal. Other findings included severe bronchointerstitial pneumonia and pulmonary atelectasis, consolidation, and emphysema. Parasites were identified in a variety of organs, including lung ( Halocerchus lagenorhynchi). Microbiologic and serologic examinations for Brucella spp were negative on all 8 dolphins. The 4 animals with meningoencephalitis had serum antibodies against T gondii (titers ranging from 1:80 to 1:320) but not against morbillivirus. In contrast, the other 4 dolphins were seropositive for morbillivirus (with titers ranging from 1:10 to 1:40) but seronegative for T gondii. No morbillivirus antigen or nucleic acid was detected in the tissues of any dolphin. It is concluded that the severe lung and brain lesions were the cause of death and that T gondii was the likely etiologic agent of the cerebral lesions. Morbillivirus infection was not considered to have contributed to death of these animals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0300985809358036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,29]],"date-time":"2010-01-29T23:00:25Z","timestamp":1264806025000},"page":"245-253","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["Cerebral Toxoplasmosis in Striped Dolphins (\n                    <i>Stenella coeruleoalba<\/i>\n                    ) Stranded Along the Ligurian Sea Coast of Italy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"G.","family":"Di Guardo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Teramo, Teramo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"U.","family":"Proietto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Teramo, Teramo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.
