No evidence for clonal transmission of urogenital carcinoma in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus)

2017-06-22

Abstract excerpt

Urogenital carcinoma is a highly metastatic cancer affecting California sea lions ( Zalophus californianus ). The disease has high prevalence amongst stranded animals, and is one of the most commonly observed cancers in wildlife. The genital localisation of primary tumours suggests the possibility that coital transmission of an infectious agent could underlie this disease. Otarine herpesvirus type 1 has been asso...
