Oral pathological conditions are common in mammals and have been relatively well documented for some wild groups, but are rarely reported in marine mammals. Here, we report for the Mexican Caribbean the first case of mandibular osteomyelitis in a free-ranging dolphin. A bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus adult male (256.5 cm total length) was found stranded dead in the west coast of the State Reserve "Chetumal Bay Manatee Sanctuary". Herein, we discuss some plausible explanations about the origin of this lesion to improve the knowledge about the species biology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
