title: Experimental infection of neonatal striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus.
abstract: Experimental infection of neonatal skunks (Mephitis mephitis) with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) caused fatal systemic infection. Virus isolation and immunofluorescence tests were used to demonstrate a direct association between IBRV and the lesions. Histopathologic studies revealed multiple focal necrosis in the liver and the adrenal glands.
