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.engHerpes simplex-like infection in a bottlenose dolphin stranded in the Canary Islandsjournal articlehttp://www.int-res.com/abstracts/dao/v81/n1/p73-76/open accessBottlenose dolphinHerpesvirusHerpes simplex virusInfectious diseasesZoonosisVeterinaria3109 Ciencias Veterinarias
