Identification of a Bovine Mucosal-Disease Virus isolated in Sweden as Myxovirus para-influenzae 3

Abstract

‘BOVINE mucosal disease’ is the collective name proposed for different syndromes characterized mainly by inflammatory changes in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal or respiratory tracts, or both, of cattle. The ætiology was uncertain in spite of successful transmission experiments.
