Strain of measles possible cause of dolphin deaths

The number of carcases has been building up on the country's west coast since the start of the year.

Nicola Hodgins, an international project manager for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, told BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast that the 'origin of the disease is unknown'.
