“…These animals are driven to this region by the Malvinas current, particularly during winter months [ 1 – 3 ]. Although some fur seals may reach the coast to rest, several are found dead or debilitated along the shore and the cause of their weakness or death cannot always be determined [ 4 , 5 ]. Few studies have attempted to identify the pathogens that infect these populations and their roles as etiological agents of diseases and as potential zoonotic agents, especially those concerned with viruses [ 6 – 10 ].…”

Metagenomic Survey of Viral Diversity Obtained from Feces of Subantarctic and South American Fur Seals

The Brazilian South coast seasonally hosts numerous marine species, observed particularly during winter months. Some animals, including fur seals, are found dead or debilitated along the shore and may harbor potential pathogens within their microbiota. In the present study, a metagenomic approach was performed to evaluate the viral diversity in feces of fur seals found deceased along the coast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The fecal virome of two fur seal species was characterized: the South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) and the Subantarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus tropicalis). Fecal samples from 10 specimens (A. australis, n = 5; A. tropicalis, n = 5) were collected and viral particles were purified, extracted and amplified with a random PCR. The products were sequenced through Ion Torrent and Illumina platforms and assembled reads were submitted to BLASTx searches. Both viromes were dominated by bacteriophages and included a number of potentially novel virus genomes. Sequences of picobirnaviruses, picornaviruses and a hepevirus-like were identified in A. australis. A rotavirus related to group C, a novel member of the Sakobuvirus and a sapovirus very similar to California sea lion sapovirus 1 were found in A. tropicalis. Additionally, sequences of members of the Anelloviridae and Parvoviridae families were detected in both fur seal species. This is the first metagenomic study to screen the fecal virome of fur seals, contributing to a better understanding of the complexity of the viral community present in the intestinal microbiota of these animals.

“…Major breeding colonies are located in South Georgia Island, Kerguelen and Heard Islands, Macquarie Islands and Peninsula Valdés (Boyd et al 1996, Lewis et al 1998, Guinet et al 1999, Slip & Burton 1999, McMahon et al 2005. Vagrant individuals have been occasionally recorded north of the Antarctic circumpolar zone (Oosthuizen et al 1988, Alava & Carvajal 2005, Lewis et al 2006, Oliveira et al 2011, Shaughnessy et al 2012, Bublichenko 2015, Mayorga et al 2015, Juri 2017). In the case of continental Chile, three breeding colonies are located south of 51°S in the Magallanes Region: width of 300 m, a depth of 1.5 to 12 m, and a homogeneous temperature of around 13.7 ºC (Gomez-Uchida et al 2016).…”

The Southern elephant seal (SES) is a marine species that can be found at sea throughout the Southern Ocean on most sub-Antarctic islands. An unusual record of a solitary Southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) in freshwater habitat is reported. The seal was found 16 km upstream from the mouth of the Toltén River, in southern Chile (39°9’S; 73°10’W). The individual was classified as a sub-adult male approximately 3 m in length. Potential causes for the unusual presence of the seal in a river include feeding on native estuarine fishes and non-native Chinook salmon or resting. Long lasting resting (5 days) in the Toltén River by the seal may indicate suitable habitat and/or lack of disturbance.
