Summary of the host species and pathological tissue or clinical sample distribution of twelve types of elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses (EEHVs) as deduced from polymerase chain reaction DNA analysis of clinical samples.

HD, hemorrhagic disease; TW, trunk wash.

^aIndex case was LAHD in an EM calf (Hansa).
