Bruce L. Homer Ellis C. Greiner A. William Layton Thomas J. O'Shea 1991 An immature female striped dolphin (<i>Stenella coeruleoalba</i>) found dead on a northwestern Florida beach in 1988 exhibited severe inflammation bilaterally in the dorsal and mid-thalamus in association with adult trematodes (<i>Nasitrema</i> sp.) and trematode eggs. Numerous specimens of <i>Nasitrema</i> sp. also were present in the pterygoid sinuses. Pneumonia in association with a heavy growth of <i>Vibrio damsela</i> was observed also. This report confirms the occurrence of <i>Nasitrema</i> sp.-associated encephalitis in striped dolphins and in small cetaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. application/pdf 10.7589/0090-3558-27.4.706 en Wildlife Disease Association <i>Nasitrema</i> sp.-associated encephalitis in a striped dolphin (<i>Stenella coeruleoalba</i>) stranded in the Gulf of Mexico article
