title: Isolation of Reovirus type 2 from respiratory tract of sheep.
abstract: A virus isolated from a nasal swab taken from a healthy lamb was identified as a reovirus on the basis of morphology and physicochemical characteristics. This virus agglutinated human 0 erythrocytes and was shown by haemagglutination tests to be a type 2 reovirus. Serological evidence indicated infection of other healthy lambs in the same group.
