Abstract Background Pathogenic Leptospira species are globally important zoonotic pathogens capable of infecting a wide range host species. In marine mammals, reports have predominantly been in pinnipeds, with isolated infections cetaceans. Case presentation On 28 June 2021, 150.5 cm long female, short-beaked common dolphin ( Delphinus delphis ) stranded alive on the coast southern California and subsequently died. Gross necropsy revealed multifocal cortical pallor within reniculi kidney,...
Pythiosis is an infection of humans and other animals caused by the fungal-like pathogen Pythium insidiosum. This causes life-threatening in infected hosts. Culture, histopathology, serology molecular tools are used to diagnose its infections. Successful management pythiosis directly linked early diagnosis. Thus, a rapid identification putative cultures developing submerged sparsely septate hyphae extreme importance. However, few laboratories familiar with culture this unique differential...
