Occurrence of attenuated strains of myxoma virus in europe


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT SEVERAL slightly attenuated strains of myxoma virus have been recovered from the field in Australia1; indeed, it is now rather uncommon to recover strains having the same high


virulence as the material used for initiating the epizootics, and for the subsequent inoculation campaigns. The position in Europe, however, appears to have been different. European


investigators2 have been unanimous in their observations that there has been no fall in the virulence of the virus since it was introduced into wild rabbits in France in June 1952.


Experiments made in Canberra with several European field-strains have confirmed this view. Very recently, however, we have obtained evidence of attenuation of the virus in the field in


Europe. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to
