Detection of Chelonid Herpesvirus DNA by Nonradioactive in Situ Hybridization in Tissues from Tortoises Suffering from Stomatitis—Rhinitis Complex in Europe and North America

Abstract excerpt

Chelonid herpesvirus (ChHV) infection in tortoises associated with stomatitis-rhinitis complex is a severe, mostly epizootic disease characterized by proliferative and diphtheroid-necrotizing glossitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, and tracheitis, often occurring with pneumonia and encephalitis. The UL5 gene from a German ChHV isolate was used to generate a digoxigenin-labeled 307-base-pair DNA probe by polymerase...
