Dead shark in Cornwall had meningitis in 'world's first' case, scientists say
Scientists believe the brain infection explains why the shark was out of her natural deep-water habitat and the cause of her stranding and eventual death
Scientists said there was not enough evidence to link the disease to man-made stressors, such as pollution.The autopsy by the Cornwall Marine Pathology Team, is thought to be the first of its kind undertaken in the UK. The pathology team, part of the Zoological Society of London's Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme found that the 3.96m long shark had damage to her fins and silt in her stomach, suggesting she may have been alive when she stranded.
