      Knowledge of the health status and potential effect of disease outbreaks among Southern Ocean fauna may be decisive for its conservation. We assessed the exposure and infection of Antarctic fur seals (<i>Arctocephalus gazella</i>, AFS) and Southern elephant seals (<i>Mirounga leonine</i>, SES) to parapoxvirus, <i>Phocid alphaherpesvirus-1</i> (PhHV-1), smooth <i>Brucella</i> spp. and <i>Toxoplasma ...
