Scientists believe that more than 100 dolphins washed up dead along the Italian coast were struck down by a killer strain of measles.
A total of 101 dolphin carcasses have been counted on the west coast of Italy since the beginning of the year.
All are the same species - striped dolphins which have a distinctive blue and white pattern and grow to about eight feet long. They usually live for 50 or 60 years.
