Overview of urogenital carcinoma studies in California sea lions

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

Urogenital carcinoma is an important disease of wild California sea lions, diagnosed in 26% of adult animals necropsied at a marine mammal rescue centre in California. Similar to other cancers, the likely multifactorial aetiology makes it challenging to identify risk factors. Investigations into the disease have reported viral infection, environmental contaminants and genetic factors as potential risk factors.

This article presents a review of work into a genetic basis of the disease and discusses previously reported findings regarding other potential aetiologies.
