title: [An experimental contribution to the epizootiology of viral hemorrhagic septicemia of rabbits (rabbit hemorrhagic disease, RHD)--transmission by flies].
abstract: In experiments adapted to natural conditions it was established that--a conjunctival infection with about 100 RHD-virus particles was successful--in a milieu without flies transmission over a distance of only 50 cm did not take place--iridescent flies (Phormia spp.) seven hours after contamination with RHD-virus material from died rabbits transmitted RHD to susceptible rabbits in an isolated cage. It ist supposed that transmission in this way will be an epizootiological important one for spreading in narrow distances.
