Macropodid alphaherpesvirus 1 (MaHV-1) is a species of herpesvirus in the genus Simplexvirus. It was officially accepted as a valid species by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses in 2004.
Hosts
It has been detected in captive parma wallabies (Macropus parma)[2] while some other marsupial species have been found to be susceptible to infection when experimentally inoculated.[3]
