A further account of the Trinidad outbreak of acute rabic myelitis: histology of the experimental disease

ABSTRACT

Experimental work proving that the cause of the Trinidad outbreak of acute myelitis in man, and of the so-called botulism in cattle, is the virus of rabies is detailed. The vector has not been determined with certainty but the evidence available suggests that it is the vampire-bat. The histology of spontaneous cases and of the disease in the monkey and rabbit is described. (Summary).
