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 ...

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.
For example, the herd is closely monitored for elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses, a highly fatal disease that affects Asian elephants between the ages of 1 and 8. Researchers used to think ...
The elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) is a member of the Proboscivirus genus, a novel clade most closely related to the mammalian betaherpesviruses. [89] In benign infections found in some wild and captive African elephants, these viruses can affect either the skin or the pulmonary system. [90]
The little elephant “touched the hearts of our members, patrons and our entire community, inspiring a profound appreciation for elephants and their conservation,” the zoo director said.
