Macropodid herpesvirus 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) while some other marsupial species have been found to be susceptible to infection when experimentally inoculated.
