Note(s): The first cases of orogenital sessile papillomas associated with a novel gammaherpesvirus and papillomavirus were recently reported in freeranging Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). The tumors appear to be sexually transmitted and are now occurring in epidemic proportions in some coastal areas. This study describes the hematological, biochemical, and immunological findings in free-ranging bottlenose dolphins with orogenital papillomas from the coastal waters of South Carolina and Florida.
