Abstract
SUMMARY: Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) herpesvirus was isolated from the nasal secretions of 4/11 young wildebeest calves. In two cases virus was demonstrated in filtered secretions. The presence of cell-free MCF virus would suggest that the virus can be transferred from wildebeest to wildebeest and into cattle in nasal secretions.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
