> Oral ulcerations and plaques with epithelial eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions
> were observed in northern sea otters (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) that died or were
> admitted for rehabilitation after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) in
> Alaska, USA. Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of
> herpesviral virions. Additionally, a serologic study from 2004 to 2005 found a
> high prevalence of exposure to a herpesvirus in live-captured otters. Tissues
> from 29 otters after the EVOS and nasal swabs from 83 live-captured otters in the
> Kodiak Archipelago were tested for herpesviral DNA. Analysis identified a novel
> herpesvirus in the gamma subfamily, most closely related to Mustelid
> herpesvirus-1 from badgers. Results indicated that this herpesvirus is associated
> with ulcerative lesions but is also commonly found in secretions of healthy
> northern sea otters.
