Second elephant dies from Herpesvirus at Adventure Zoo Emmen

NL Times  

A second young elephant has died at Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen within five days, both likely due to the highly lethal elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus. “Despite prompt action by our team, we couldn’t save him.” The zoo's caretakers have isolated the herd’s two remaining young males, both six years old, to minimize stress and closely monitor their health. “We are doing everything possible to support the remaining elephants during this difficult time.” The EEHV virus is one of the leading causes of death among young elephants, both in captivity and in the wild. Earlier this month, on November 4, a young African elephant named Bumi died of EEHV at Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen.
