Histological and serological evidence of disease among invasive, non-native stoats Mustela erminea	2007-04-16		.txt	text/plain	3631	184	45	Of 60 stoats examined, 63% exhibited inflammation of the lung, mostly occurring as local or diffuse interstitial pneumonia, 30% showed signs of inflammatory liver disease and 14% were positive for antibodies reactive with feline calicivirus. McDonald and Larivière (2001) provided a comprehensive review of the diseases and pathogens of stoats and other mustelids, generally in their native range, but with particular reference to the control of invasive stoats in New Zealand. In common with the British samples, no lesions of the brain were observed that would have been consistent with infection by distemper virus, though this can not be taken as evidence of the absence of this disease and three individuals in this study were seropositive for morbillivirus, which is comparable to a recent finding of two seropositive animals from a sample of 32 stoats sampled in Canterbury, New Zealand (T.	./cache/cord-278025-x8fcib29.txt	./txt/cord-278025-x8fcib29.txt
