Antibodies against european phocine herpesvirus isolates detected in sera of Antarctic seals
Neutralizing antibodies against European phocine herpesvirus were detected in sera of two Antartic seal species, Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) and crabeater seals (Lobodon carcinophagus), collected in the eastern Weddell Sea. A large number of positive sera crossneutralized canine herpesvi...
