“…The discovery of aborted pups on Anholt in 1988 was an early indication of the morbillivirus epizootic which occurred in common seal populations in Europe that year (Dietz, Heide-Jerrgensen & Harkonen, 1989). During the 1988 breeding season, 97% of grey seals sampled on N. Rona showed evidence of exposure to PDV (Cornwell et al, 1992).…”

“…In the UK, a large proportion of the younger harbour seals seemed to have escaped infection as they appeared susceptible in the seroconversion tests 1 and 2 yr after the epidemic (Carter et al 1990, Cornwell et al 1992, Ries 1999. However, maternal antibodies were present in samples from pups caught in the UK and Norway in 1990, 2 yr after the epidemic (Cornwell et al 1992).…”

However, maternal antibodies were present in samples from pups caught in the UK and Norway in 1990, 2 yr after the epidemic (Cornwell et al 1992).A recent study in the UK provided more evidence that grey seals might be important sources of infection. Hammond et al (2005) found that approximately 5% of breeding females and 8% of their pups sampled from the Isle of May in the Firth of Forth, on the east coast of Scotland, tested positive for PDV in their white blood cells.…”

“…Initial exposure to PDV typically produces an increase in antibody production over a period of 16 d. Cornwell et al (1992) found that some harbour and grey seals with clinical disease signs never developed antibody titres as high as 1:64, presumably because of the immunosuppressive effects of morbilliviruses (e.g. McCullough et al 1974, Mangi et al 1976, Appel et al 1982.…”

“…Antibody levels compared for the same animal within years were considered to be the same unless they differed by at least 4 dilutions, and the lower value has been reported. Sera results reported by Cornwell et al (1992) and performed using the same method have been included in some of our analyses.Statistics. Most statistics were performed with SPPS v11.0.…”
