Summary

Bull semen, to which small quantities of FMD virus were added, was frozen and kept one month at — 79° C. By inoculation into mice it was demonstrated that FMD virus in bull semen had survived the freezing procedure.

Zusammenfassung

Bullensamen mit kleinen Mengen von Maul und Klauenseuche Virus gemischt, wurde eingefroren und für einen Monat bei — 79° C aufbewahrt. Es wurde demonstriert durch Inokulation auf Mäusen dass die Virus die Tiefkühlungsverfahren des Bullensamens überlebt hatte.
