A herpesvirus-like infection is described in the black-footed penguin (Spheniscus demersus). Clinically, the infection was characterized by debilitation and respiratory distress. Histopathological lesions were confined to the respiratory tract and consisted of inflammation and syncytial cell formation with Type A intranuclear inclusions in sinuses, trachea, and mainstem bronchi. Electron microscopy demonstrated polyhedral viral particles 80-140 nm in size consistent with Herpetoviridae. The lesions resembled those seen in infectious laryngotracheitis.
在非洲企鹅（斑嘴环企鹅）身上发现了一种类似疱疹病毒的感染。临床上，该感染的特征为身体虚弱和呼吸窘迫。组织病理学损伤局限于呼吸道，表现为炎症以及在鼻窦、气管和主支气管中形成含有A型核内包涵体的多核巨细胞。电子显微镜显示大小为80 - 140纳米的多面体病毒颗粒，与疱疹病毒科一致。这些损伤类似于传染性喉气管炎中所见的损伤。
