[The role of small terrestrial mammals in the epidemiology of rabies].
The examination should help to elucidate the possibility of virus occurrence in free living small terrestrial rodents. The examination was oriented on the following: 1. Animals living in natural surroundings. 2. Rodents examined after injuring man. The examination was carried out by means of the direct immunofluorescent test and, partially, also by biological assay on suckling laboratory mice. In the first part of experiment, more than 10,000 small terrestrial mammals were entrapped, belonging to 16 species. In the second part of experiment, 1,969 rodents, belonging to 12 species, were examined after injuring humans. In these cases, a biological test was also carried out to demonstrate the occurrence of the virus. In neither of the above mentioned experiment the occurrence of rabies was proved.
