| Abstract: | Newborn calves were susceptible to infection with a rotavirus strain isolated from rabbits and, conversely, rabbits 4–5 weeks of age became ill and some died when inoculated with the rotavirus strain of bovine origin. However, the latter isolate appeared to be more virulent than the rabbit isolate in either calves or rabbits. Moreover, in reciprocal cross protection tests, carried out in calves and in rabbits, the rabbit rotavirus antiserum afforded only weak protection to challenge infection with either the homologous or the heterologous virus. By contrast, the protective level of the bovine rotavirus antiserum was relatively high. |
