title: A new herpesvirus isolated from a nestling cormorant (Phalacrocorax melanoleucos).
abstract: A virus designated Lake Victoria cormorant virus (LVC) was isolated from the blood of a nestling cormorant taken on Lake Victoria in New South Wales. It is a herpesvirus unrelated to any previously described avian herpesvirus. It is probably one of a group of parasites of wild birds and possibly has only a very narrow host range.
