| Abstract: | Abstract— Two further outbreaks of disease associated with the viruses of both canine distemper (C.D.) and infectious canine hepatitis (I.C.H.) are described. The virus of I.C.H. was present in the kennels before that of C.D. The morbidity, mortality, symptomatology and pathological findings have been attributed to the sum of the pathogenic properties of the two viruses. The term "distemper-infectious canine hepatitis syndrome" is proposed. |
