Pleural effusion disease in rabbits: Observations on viraemia, immunity and transmissibility 1981 .txt text/plain 3041 177 56 Baby rabbits surviving infection with pleural effusion disease virus (PEDV) developed viraemia persisting for at least six months. The demonstration of pleural effusion disease (PED) virus as passenger of rabbit testicular suspensions of Treponema pallidum in several laboratories shows that this virus can be transmitted from rabbit to rabbit by testicular fluids at intervals of 7--14 days, i.e. the customary time between intratesticular inoculation and harvest of treponemes from the testes (3, 6, 7) . Infected and uninfected rabbits remained together in the same cage for a period of 90--180 days, and their blood was examined for PEDV at 30-day intervals from time of inoculation. To observe if the virus present in blood would retain inability to provoke clinical disease, serial rabbit passages of infectious serum from p.i. days 90, t20, 150 and 180 were carried out at 7-day intervals. ./cache/cord-004727-9sniu39j.txt ./txt/cord-004727-9sniu39j.txt
