Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Pets: Is HHV-6 the cross-species agent?

"In the early 1990's, I became interested in the roles which domestic animals might play in the transmission of Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS). From the research which I presented in [a] previous paper, it was apparent that CFIDS patients have a substantial interaction with domestic animals. The results of these studies also suggest that many of the animals show signs which the CFIDS patients interpreted as being the same as they were experiencing. While some of the signs the animals demonstrated such as lethargy, weakness, sleep disorders and aggressive behavior could be interpreted as subjective, signs such as seizures, tremors and hind limb dragging were much more overt. Similarly, inflamed gingiva, tooth loss, drooling, diarrhea, leukemias, and tumors were also objective findings."

Dr. Thomas Glass on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and pets. Did he inadvertently establish the first animal model for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and HHV-6? If the agent responsible for the illness in both people and their pets is HHV-6, we may have definitive proof that HHV-6 is the cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. And that could be just the beginning of the HHV-6 story.
