Abstrakt: The article discusses research on two monitor lizards with a novel herpesvirus. It references a study by Daniel P. Shaw and colleagues, published in the 2010 issue of the "Journal of the Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation." The researchers examined the effect of the virus on the development of enteritis and hepatitis. They found that a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay is helpful in examining a portion of the herpesvirus polymerase gene.
