Optimization and validation of a micro–QuEChERS method for phthalates detection in small samples of cetacean blubber by Annalisa Sambolino, Marta Rodriguez, Jesus De la Fuente, Manuel Arbelo, Antonio Fernández, Manfred Kaufmann, Nereida Cordeiro, Ana Dinis

“…To ensure the reliability of this method, comprehensive validation procedures were conducted, with a specific focus on two widely studied cetacean species: the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus). Determination coefficients (R2) for matrix-matched calibration were >0.93 with limits of quantifications (LOQ) of the method in the range of 5–10 ng/g. …”

Molecular Characterization of Herpesviral Encephalitis in Cetaceans: Correlation with Histopathological and Immunohistochemical Findings by Eva Sierra, Antonio Fernández, Carolina Fernández-Maldonado, Simona Sacchini, Idaira Felipe-Jiménez, Simone Segura-Göthlin, Ana Colom-Rivero, Nakita Câmara, Raquel Puig-Lozano, Anna Maria Rambaldi, Cristian Suárez-Santana, Manuel Arbelo

“…We detected the presence of alpha and gamma-HVs in 12 out of 103 (11.6%) brain samples from stranded cetaceans of five different species: one bottlenose dolphin, six striped dolphins, three Atlantic spotted dolphins, one Cuvier’s beaked whale, and one common dolphin. Pathogenic factors such as viral strain, age, sex, and the presence of co-infections were analysed and correlated with the brain histopathological findings in each case. …”
