@CwallWildlife Defra UK ZSL Science ZSLMarine Update on the #CSIOfTheSea fin whale examination by James Barnett and his CMPT team. Follow up histopathology confirmed it had a viral brain infection, most likely due to morbillivirus. Further tests pending, but is likely to have caused the stranding. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
