Innovative attempts to propagate Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesvirus cell culture
The ability to grow and propagate this virus in the laboratory conditions is critical for the progress of future research of EEHV.Employing a variety of improved detection methods and alternative approaches with stored elephant blood vessel wall cells and virus- containing samples aided in understanding the biology and pathology of this virus and the possibility of generating live attenuated vaccines.
