Nontransmissibility of measles virus from vaccinated dogs to seronegative monkeys.
The nontransmissibility of the Edmonston strain of measles virus was demonstrated by failure to transmit the virus by aerosol from vaccinated pups to susceptible cercopithecus monkeys. Monkeys in direct contact for 3 weeks remained clinically normal and serologically negative for measles virus antibody.
