PRO/AH/EDR> Dolphin die-off, morbillivirus – USA: (East Coast)

Animal Die-off — Worldwide/Unknown
The deadliest known outbreak of a measles-like virus in bottlenose dolphins has killed a record number of the animals along the US Atlantic coast since July [2013], officials said Friday [8 Nov 2013].
A total of 753 bottlenose dolphins have washed up from New York to Florida from 1 Jul until 3 Nov [2013], the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] said.
That is more than 10 times the number of dolphins that would typically turn up dead along East Coast beaches, said Teri
