At first it was a pathologic rarity described only at autopsy and diagnosed as congenital syphilis2 and amebiasis.3 Later cases were described primarily as erythroblastosis fetalis,4 keratomalacia,5 whooping cough,6,7 and toxoplasmosis.8 The salivary gland virus was originally described as large inclusion-bearing cells resembling those of cytomegalic inclusion disease found in the salivary glands9 in a high percentage10 of adult animals of numerous species.11 It was found to be associated with a weak species-specific filtrable virus, transmissible to unborn or young animals for a few passages but not to adults,12 presumably because ofKeywords
