Cetaceans are considered "sentinel organisms" of the marine environment, as well as species of special interest on public health for sharing the coastal ecosystems with humans and feeding on similar species. Among the diseases that affect cetaceans, hepatic diseases are considered relevant and relatively common, and have also been reported in cetaceans of Brazil. In spite of that, the eti…
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV; genus Morbillivirus, family Paramyxoviridae) has caused multiple outbreaks of lethal disease in odontocetes and mysticetes worldwide. CeMV includes three well characterized strains: porpoise morbillivirus, dolphin morbillivirus, and pilot whale morbillivirus (northern hemisphere), and three novel strains, one of them detected in Brazil and considered the firs…
The genus Morbillivirus (Paramyxoviridae family, Mononegavirales order) shows single-stranded RNA and consists of antigenically related species, including the human measles, canine distemper, rinderpest and peste des petits ruminants, among others. They are characterized by acute infection, high transmissibility and high mortality rates. Since 1988, when Morbillivirus infection was discov…

Brazil has one of the most diversity of primates in the world and it's a priority area for the conservation of these species. The agriculture expansion, habitat fragmentation, human population growth and climate change put these populations at risk and may facilitate the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases to them. Neotropical primates are highly susceptible to toxoplasmosis…
In the Anthropocene era there is a significant increase in diseases affecting wild animals. This situation contributes to the current sixth wave of species extinction and places these animals in a central role as sentinels, reservoirs and disseminators of diseases. The performance of necroscopic and histological exams is recommended as a broad way of detecting and controlling infectious a…
The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a species that has suffered large population declines in the 20th century due to commercial whaling. After the prohibition of this activity the specie has been recovering, but still faces several other threats, being evidenced by the increase in the number of stranded animals over the years along the Brazilian coast. One possible threat for t…

Agriculture is one of the economic sectors that contributes most to the Brazilian economy, being fundamental for socioeconomic development and for national and world food production. Thus, in order to maintain or even increase their productivity, rural farmers and ranchers make use of technological resources, such as roads and agricultural inputs, such as pesticides, making Brazil the lar…

Antimicrobial resistance emergence is considered a threat to both human and animal health. Antimicrobial environmental contamination may promote, through horizontal transference, gene exchange of pathogenic and nonpathogenic environmental bacteria. The consequent remodeling of the existing microbiomes creates evolutional and environmental changes that associated to their dissemination cap…

Morbillivirus is an emergent pathogen associated with severe epizootic outbreaks causing high number of deaths among pinnipeds and cetaceans. In Brazil only recently the virus was associated to cetacean mortality. Preliminary studies indicate that several cetacean species that have stranded and subsequently died along the Brazilian coast were infected showing that the virus may be more co…
