Abstract
This chapter updates and adds to information contained in earlier reviews of herpesvirus of reptiles and fishes (Wolf, 1973, 1979 Lunger; and Clark, 1978; Clark and Lunger, 1981). This review includes at least 11, and possibly as many as 14, herpesviruses (Table I). The uncertainty of number stems from the fact that some of the agents have yet to be isolated, and therefore their antigenic, serological, and other critical relationships are unknown. Furthermore, the rather high degree of host specificity exhibited by most herpesviruses suggests the possibility that the two freshwater turtles (both family Testudinidae) could well be afflicted with a single virus. The same is true for the agent(s) seen in the venom of the three snakes of the family Elapidae; two of the snakes are members of the genus Naja, and all three share a common geographic area.
