Fatal mycotic encephalitis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus in a northern bottlenose whale (Hyperoodon ampullatus)

THE northern bottlenose whale ( Hyperoodon ampullatus ) is a deep-diving species found in the North Atlantic Ocean and some of its adjacent seas, occurring in mainly cold temperate to subarctic waters. It is purported to be the most extensively studied of the beaked whales owing to its long history
