title: Early events in non-lethal rabies infection.
abstract: Inoculation of sublethal doses of rabies virus strains isolated from small wild rodents resulted in non-lethal infection of white mice. During the first 48 hr after inoculation the virus neutralizing and protection activities in mouse sera and brain suspensions increased, followed by a transient decrease on the 3rd and 4th day. In some cases there also occurred transient multiplication of virus, which retained a relatively high infectivity for mice.
