A sub-adult female elephant rescued by Athagarh Forest Division officials that died last week was found to be infected by herpes virus - a deadly virus that claimed lives of five pachyderms in the State last year.

The lower jaw of the elephant was found fractured during the time of rescue.Sources in OUAT Centre for Wildlife Health (CWH) said since the elephant tested positive for the virus, the issue has raised concern among wildlife experts because Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpes Virus (EEHV) can cause highly fatal hemorrhagic disease when transmitted to young Asian elephants.
