Abstract
Palm squirrels (Funambulus) circulated KFD virus to high titres and the majority died. Rattus rattus wroughtoni and R. blandfordi circulated KFD virus to low titres without dying or showing evidence of disease. Blood-fed lice from squirrels were found to contain virus and these arthropods may play a minor role in the mechanical transmission of KFD from squirrel to squirrel.Keywords
