Hi everyone,

In case you didn't hear, the W.P.Zoo necropsied a lion-tailed macaque last week because it was Herpes B positive. (v.sad)  Apparently they are going to start testing them more frequently now and wanted to know if there is an easier way to do that other than sedation/bloodwork.  

Do any of you know if it is possible to detect herpes B in saliva and if so could they collect it using the rope toys that are used to collect saliva to test cortisol levels?
