Elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses (EEHV) are herpesviruses that infect elephants. They 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 surfacing to cause small ...
An analysis, published October 25 in the journal Nature Communications, showed evidence of infection by a little-known bacterium called Bisgaard taxon 45 that caused septicemia, or blood poisoning.
Elephantid betaherpesvirus 4 (ElHV-4) is a species of virus in the genus Proboscivirus, subfamily Betaherpesvirinae, family Herpesviridae, and order Herpesvirales. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] References
“Acute inflammation, which is short-term, is a protective response to injury or infection,” says Amy Shapiro, a registered dietitian and founder of Real Nutrition NYC.
Mimivirus, short for "mimicking microbe", is so called to reflect its large size and apparent Gram-staining properties. [5] Mimivirus has a large and complex genome compared with most other viruses. Until 2013, when a larger virus Pandoravirus was described, it had the largest capsid diameter of all known viruses. [6]
Entamoeba histolytica is an anaerobic parasitic amoebozoan, part of the genus Entamoeba. [1] Predominantly infecting humans and other primates causing amoebiasis , E. histolytica is estimated to infect about 35-50 million people worldwide. [ 1 ]
The above video highlights an Indian elephant, a subspecies of the Asian elephant. Approximately 15% of the world’s wild Indian elephants live in Thailand. Around half of Thailand’s elephants ...
Bacteria serve as natural hosts, with transmission achieved through passive diffusion. There are five species in this genus. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The genus also includes several unclassified viruses—including the corynephages β and ω, which infect Corynebacterium diphtheriae and carry the deadly diphtheria toxin .
