National Elephant Herpesvirus Laboratory | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/national-elephant-herpesvirus-laboratory

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute is committed to preserving Asian and African elephants—both in human care and in the wild. As part of this mission, the Zoo researches diseases that afflict elephants, such as the elephant herpesvirus, known as elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV). Researchers at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo were the first to identify EEHV in 1995, following the death of our 16-month-old Asian elephant, Kumari, who was Shanthi’s first calf.
