Laparotomy was performed on the respective dams and the foetust:s, respectively 126 days and 138 days old, were inoculated intramuscularly through the uterine wall with 1 ml of a virus suspension containing 5 x 10³ tissue culture infective doses. The younger foetus was aborted on Day 262, while the other one was born alive on Day 273. Both foetuses showed marked hydranencephaly.en©1976 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). ©2016 University of Pretoria.
