Molecular characterization of encephalomyocarditis virus strains isolated from an African elephant and rats in a French zoo
International audience In November 2013, a fatal encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) case in a captive African elephant ( Loxodonta africana) occurred at the Réserve Africaine de Sigean, a zoo in the south of France. Here we report the molecular characterization of the EMCV strains isolated from sampl...
