The paper identifies multiple EEHV and EGHV species in wild and zoo African elephants through DNA sequencing of tissue and saliva samples.

This study identifies the role of CMV viral protein IE1 in disrupting host DISC1-PML interaction, leading to neural progenitor deficits in congenital CMV infection.

The paper analyzes an EHD outbreak in Swiss elephants, identifying a previously undetected EEHV1A strain and highlighting the need for better antiviral strategies.

The paper detects persistent low-level infections of EEHV and EGHV in African elephants using PCR and sequencing across multiple tissues and populations over seven years.
