Portable unit can quickly detect deadly whale and dolphin diseases
Novel marine mammal health surveillance can now detect deadly diseases in whales and dolphins in oceans, beaches and remote locations, thanks to new research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The portable unit delivers results in about an hour, leading to faster decision-making during mass stranding events. The study is published in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases.
