“…18, 20-22, 25, 31, 42-44 The lesions observed in this koala were very similar to those described from a colony of 9 greater bilbies (Macrotis lagotis), that died suddenly from acute, severe respiratory disease, with infection of an alphaherpesvirus closely related to MaHV-1. 29 As described in the bilbies, the koala had eosinophilic inclusion bodies in the respiratory epithelium of the bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, and adrenocortical cells and hepatocytes associated with cellular necrosis and hyaline membrane formation in pulmonary alveoli. 29 Other histological changes noted in this koala included peribronchial, peribronchiolar and interstitial fibrosis, indicating a chronic respiratory disease process.…”

Domesticated mammals infected with herpesviruses have shown similar pathology to that of the koala and bilbies.…”
