Detection of the Virus of Mouse Encephalomyelitis in the Intestines of Normal Kangaroo Rats

[摘要] 1. 1. An infectious agent capable of producing encephalomyelitis in mice has been detected in the intestines of normal kangaroo rats. These rats had been quartered for over a year in a laboratory which had also been inhabited by normal and poliomyelitis-infected monkeys and by albino mice proven to be intestinal carriers of Theiler's mouse encephalomyelitis virus.2. 2. By means of cross immunity tests and complement fixation reactions this virus has been shown to be immunologically related to the FA strain of mouse encephalomyelitis virus.
