Cover Story: Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus haemorrhagic disease is the primary cause of calf mortality in the global captive Asian elephant population, yet the factors determining calf susceptibility to the virus remain unknown. In this study, we analysed the impact of EEHV-HD in the European captive Asian elephant population and investigated if hereditary or environmental factors could be linked to a higher susceptibility of this disease. The findings of this investigation suggest the involvement of zoo-associated factors with possible sire and/or dam influence on the onset of the disease. This alerts us to the importance of continuous epidemiological studies and stresses the significance of finding further underlying factors for the development of this disease if we wish to halt it.View this paper
