Cetacean morbillivirus is spread through inhalation of contaminated droplets and air. Passage of the droplets contaminated with the virus through the lungs of the mammal and the bloodstream dilates the breathing and bloodstream vessels causing difficulty in breathing and transportation of oxygen to other essential body parts like the brain. As a result, the animal becomes uncomfortable with the condition and may do anything to place itself in a better position for survival, including self-stranding.
How is cetacean morbllivirus spread? One of the things that researchers keep track of is the different populations of marine mammals. Scientists are able to track dolphins based on photo IDs and genetics. Different populations can have different coloration and caudal fins (tail tins). Researchers noticed that dolphins that were being found stranded were not only from coastal resident stocks of dolphins, but included migratory populations.
