Abstract excerpt
Various herpesviruses have been discovered in marine mammals and are associated with a wide spectrum of disease. In the present study we describe the detection and phylogenetic analysis of a novel gammaherpesvirus, tentatively called phocine herpesvirus 7 (PhHV-7), which was detected in samples collected during an outbreak of ulcerative gingivitis and glossitis from juvenile harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) at the...
