| Abstract |
|
A case of herpesvirosis in a american desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) is presented. Viral identification is described in nasal cavity, aerian sacs, liver and spleen. In contrast with the local signs described to date in herpesvirosis, in our case a septicemic distribution is noted. Microscopically, a rhinitis, necrotizant hepatitis, focal pneumonia and esplenitis are the major signs observed. Viral characteristics in liver and nasal cavity are also exposed. This case is the first report of herpesvirosis in Gopherus agasizii in Spain. Profilactic measures are very important to prevent the introduction of this disease in Zoo Gardens or Wildlife Rehabilitation Centers.
