Infectious and inflammatory processes are among the most common causes of central nervous system involvement in stranded cetaceans. Meningitis and encephalitis are among the leading known natural causes of death in stranded cetaceans and may be caused by a wide range of pathogens. This study describes histopathological findings in post-mortem brain tissue specimens from stranded cetaceans associated with five relevant infectious agents: viruses [Cetacean Morbillivirus (CeMV) and Herpesvirus (HV); = 29], bacteria ( sp.

Toxoplasma is an obligate intracellular parasite that remains asymptomatic in humans but, at times, can cause devastating disease. Here, we describe an autopsy study of a young immunocompetent gentleman with no comorbidities whose presentation was acute transverse myelitis. Magnetic resonance imaging spine showed longitudinally extensive spinal cord lesion (LESCL) that mimicked neuromyelitis optica with normal brain imaging at presentation.
