Abstract
Rabies virus was found in tissues from a pregnant cow that died of rabies and in tissues from the fetal calf. Suspensions of the organs were inoculated into mice and produced rabies in some of the mice. The isolated virus was identified as rabies by neutralization tests, in which serum hyperimmune to rabies was used. The results indicate that rabies was transmitted from the cow to its calf by the transplacental route.Keywords
