Intermittent Excretion of Rabies Virus in the Saliva of a Dog Two and Six Months after it Had Recovered from Experimental Rabies^*

Makonnen Fekadu, John H. Shaddock AND George M. Baer

A dog inoculated with a rabies virus isolate from the saliva of an apparently healthy Ethiopian dog was followed for more than 9 months. Saliva and blood specimens were collected three times weekly and cerebrospinal fluid weekly. Saliva samples collected on days 42 and 169 after the dog's recovery produced fatal rabies infections in mice inoculated intracerebrally.
