Abstract
A small thermal-resistant fraction (10−3 to 10−5 at 55°C) of foot-and-mouth disease virus, type A, has been isolated from a wild population. Under continuing thermal selection, it breeds populations which contain much higher fractions, at least 10−1, of thermal-resistant virus particles. Such populations revert partially, however, toward the sensitivity of the wild strain if not subjected to heat.
