Neurobrucellosis in cetaceans, caused by , is a relevant cause of death in striped dolphins () from the Mediterranean Sea. Serological tests are not used as a routinary technique for the diagnosis of this infection. We briefly describe the pathological findings of nine free-ranging stranded cetaceans diagnosed with disease or infection in our veterinary necropsy service from 2012 to 2022.

Article Synopsis
- A national cetacean stranding response program in Taiwan has undergone significant changes over 30 years, starting from National Taiwan University's coordination in 1994 to increased local government involvement after 2009.
- A comprehensive database from 1994 to 2018 recorded 1,320 stranding events, with 1,698 animals from 27 species, showing increasing trends in stranding rates, especially during the northeastern monsoon season.
- The study highlights important findings on the location and trends of cetacean strandings, including 390 live strandings and successful rehabilitation efforts, which can inform future conservation strategies in the western Pacific.
A Quantitative Analysis of Microplastics in the Gastrointestinal Tracts of Odontocetes in the Southeast Region of the United States.

Marine Science, Millar Wilson Laboratory, Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
Microplastics (<5 mm in diameter) are ubiquitous in the oceanic environment, yet microplastic accumulation in marine mammals is vastly understudied. In recent years, efforts have been made to document microplastic profiles in odontocetes. The objective of the present study was to describe and quantify microplastics in the gastrointestinal (GI) tracts of deceased odontocetes that stranded in the southeastern United States.

These events represent the first confirmed observations and strandings of Risso's dolphins in Icelandic waters. Given the uniqueness of these events, a decision was made to conduct full necropsies on these individuals.

Ecotoxicological and pathological research on Grampus griseus (Cuvier, 1812) (Risso's dolphins) is scarce both globally and in the Mediterranean Sea. This species has been classified as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in the Mediterranean Sea. To evaluate the presence of "persistent organic pollutants" (POPs), especially organochlorine compounds (OCs), in the animals, chemical analyses were performed on tissues and organs of Risso's dolphin stranded along the Italian coasts between 1998 and 2021.
