RT Journal Article T1 Herpes simplex-like infection in a bottlenose dolphin stranded in the Canary Islands A1 Esperón, F A1 Fernández, A A1 Sánchez-Vizcaíno, José Manuel AB A bottlenose dolphin, stranded in the Canary Islands in 2001 exhibited non-suppurative encephalitis. No molecular detection of cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) was found, but a herpesviral-specific band of 250 bp was detected in the lung and brain. The sequenced herpesviral PCR product was compared with GenBank sequences, obtaining 98% homology (p-distance of 0.02) with Human herpesvirus 1 (herpes simplex virus 1 or HSV-1). This is the first report of a herpes simplex-like infection in a stranded dolphin.
