NEW SELECTIVE SYSTEM FOR RABBIT POX VIRUS

Rabbit Pox

The lesions found in animals with epidemic rabbit pox have been described in this paper. The most distinctive gross lesion in all organs and tissues was the small nodule or papule which was found to consist of mononuclear infiltration and necrosis. Diffuse lesions were also found in which the infiltration was widespread and accompanied by edema, hemorrhage and extensive necrosis of affected tis...

Rabbit Pox

Observations on an epidemic of rabbit pox occurring in an isolated animal room during the winter of 1933-34 are reported. The clinical manifestations, consisting of a generalized papular eruption involving the skin and mucous membranes, together with blepharitis, ophthalmia, nasal discharge and lymphadenopathy were essentially similar to those noted in a pox epidemic of the previous year. This ...

Studies on the Etiology of Rabbit Pox

Experiments are reported in which it was shown that rabbits which had recovered from experimental or spontaneous rabbit pox were refractory to inoculation of pox virus injected by various routes, and in addition did not develop clinical manifestations of the disease under conditions of exposure to florid cases of pox. It was found that pox recovered rabbits were susceptible to inoculation with ...

Electron Microscopy of Fowl Pox Virus

Viremia and virus measurements of rabbit pox in CV-1 cells.

Rabbit pox virus (RPV) produced cytopathic effect (CPE) in five types of cells grown in tissue cultures. The CPE on CV-1 cells was characterized by cell fusion and lysis. The CV-1 line is a useful and sensitive cell culture for measuring concentrations of RPV in blood and tissues of infected rabbits. Viremia was detected between the 2nd and 4th days after parenteral infection. By the 6th and 7t...
