Abstract
An acute outbreak of encephalomyelitis in lions from a safari-park was investigated. Three moribund lions were euthanatized and a post mortem examination was performed. A disseminated non-suppurative polioencephalomyelitis with demyelination in the spinal cord was the only pathological finding. From tonsil material of one lion feline herpesvirus type 1 was isolated. Canine distemper virus, pseudorabies virus, feline infectious peritonitis virus and rabies were excluded as cause of the disease. The possible role of FHV-1 in etiology of the disease is discussed.Entities:
