EMCV outbreaks in zoos, involving a myriad of mammal species, have been reported from Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America, making the virus a worldwide problem in zoological settings.
“EMCV outbreaks in zoos – involving a myriad of mammal species such as primates, ungulates, carnivores, rodents, and marsupials – have been reported from Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America, making the virus a worldwide problem in zoological settings [16,22–29].”

“…have been previously documented, most notably an outbreak in Kruger National Park in South Africa in 1993–1994 that led to the death of 64 African elephants ( Loxodonta africana ) [31,32], knowledge on EMCV pathogenesis in elephants has been largely attained through zoo outbreaks [22,24,28,33].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
