Employee dies of monkey herpes virus

Employee #1 was a veterinarian at a breeding facility when he developed flu-like symptoms, which turned out to be the results of the Monkey B virus (Monkey Herpes Virus Simiae). It could not be determined how and when the virus was contracted. His blood had been drawn two months earlier and was negative for the virus. A very small scratch was found on his hand post-mortem.
