Rabies in Lowlier Animals

چکیده
There is no mention in the available literature on the subject, in English or French, of naturally-occurring rabies in tortoises. Street virus, however, has been injected into brains of turtles and proved by passage into rabbit brain to have persisted for months. In the brains of Testudo mauritanica and Clemmys leprosa (a fresh-water species) it persisted for 302 and 150 days, respectively (Remlinger and Bailly, 1931, 1932). The turtles did not show any sign of rabies.
