Elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses (EEHV) or Elephantid betaherpesvirus 1 (ElHV-1) is a type of herpesvirus, which can cause a highly fatal hemorrhagic disease when transmitted to young Asian elephants. In African elephants, related forms of these viruses, which have been identified in wild populations, are generally benign, occasionally ...
Dozens of captive animal species have been found infected or proven able to be experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus has also been found in over a dozen wild animal species. Most animal species that can get the virus have not been proven to be able to spread it back to humans. The Centers for Disease ...
After cross-species transmission of a virus, rapid evolution and positive selection are expected. [47] Several studies found only weak signs of adaptive evolution early in the COVID-19 pandemic. [c] Kang et al. wrote that SARS-CoV-2 had exhibited relatively little genetic variation by 2021. [47]
Tsuni was diagnosed with Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesvirus (EEHV) on Feb. 8 after a routine blood test, even though she exhibited no outward signs of the disease, according to the zoo.

Proboscivirus is located under the listings of the ICTV Updates as Section §2005.049-050V.04. [4] With the creation of Proboscivirus as a new genus came the creation and categorization of a new species under this genus, by the name of Elephantid betaherpesvirus 1 (Acronym: EEHV1 and Scientific Name: Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus) [5] under ICTV §2005.051-050V.04.
