How would an Elephant contract Herpes??
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Q: How does the virus spread among elephants?
A: It appears that the virus jumps species. That is, African elephants seem to be carriers of the virus that kills Asian elephants, and vice versa. In the wild, the virus is latent in its respective species, causing no more harm than a benign wart. It's only when the virus crosses species -- from African into Asian elephants or vice versa -- that it becomes deadly. Because African and Asian elephants never have contact in the wild, the deadly effects of the virus were not seen until the two species began to mingle, like in zoos.

It was first discovered in 1995, and in the 10 years since then 21 elephants have died in North America alone. Wonder how many elephants are in North America in the first place?
