Kinetics of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus 5 (EEHV5) viral loads detected in whole blood (WB) and trunk wash (TW) preparations from seven elephants. VGC: viral genome equivalents. DNA prepared from WB and TW from seven elephants was screened for the presence of EEHV5 nucleic acid using a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay. Data for TW is expressed as VGC per test reaction and for WB as VGC per milliliter of blood. The y-axis on the graphs shows the quantity of EEHV5 genome copies, and the x-axis shows the number of days over which the study was conducted. Day 0 represents the first day that samples were collected (3 January 2011). Graphs for each animal’s WB and TW EEHV5 profiles are indicated. The time frame during which clinical signs were observed for elephant 1 is designated by the gray bar, and the duration of famciclovir treatment is indicated by a black bar.
