Histopathology of eighth cranial nerve of mass stranded dolphins at Goto Islands, Japan

T Morimitsu, H Kawano, K Torihara, E Kato, and M Koono


ABSTRACT

We examined four dolphins (Grampus griseus) of 582 mass-stranded. Almost no contents were found in the alimentary canal. Nasitrema gondo and Crassicauda grampicola were found in the tympanic cavity. Severe degeneration of the eighth cranial nerve was observed microscopically in all animals and an egg of Nasitrema was found in a tissue crevice of the nerve. We propose that the nerves were damaged directly by Nasitrema.
