ACUTE PHASE PROTEIN EXPRESSION DURING ELEPHANT ENDOTHELIOTROPIC HERPESVIRUS-1 VIREMIA IN ASIAN ELEPHANTS (<i>ELEPHAS MAXIMUS</i>)

Abstract excerpt

Infection of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) with elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) can be associated with rapid, lethal hemorrhagic disease and has been documented in elephant herds in human care and in the wild.
