-- A South Polar #skua was found dead and was collected by Argentinean scientists in the vicinity of the Argentinean Antarctic base "Primavera". The samples were sent to the Spanish Antarctic base "Gabriel de Castilla" where diagnosis was carried out by PCR and sequencing was performed to confirm the protease cleavage site (PLREKRRKR/GLF).
