using in-house hematology to direct decision-making in the successful treatment and monitoring of a clinical and subsequently subclinical case of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus 1b.	a 3.5-yr-old asymptomatic female asian elephant (elephas maximus) with a high load of circulating eehv1b dna on qpcr on a routine blood sample, showed progressive depletion of monocytes, lymphocytes, and platelets. twice daily iv ganciclovir, plasma transfusions, and fluid therapy coincided with a decreasing viral load, which may support potential efficacy of this antiviral drug. an increase in lymphocytes followed initial treatment and preceded the onset of clinical signs. administration of sho ...	2019	31260223
