June 13, 1916, carabao 51 was inoculated with 10 cubic cen- 

 timeters of blood from pig 300. 



History of pig 300: 



June 4, 1916: Inoculated with 10 cubic centimeters of virulent 



rinderpest blood procured from a carabao in Angono, Rizal 



Province. 

 June 9: First rise in temperature, registering, a. m., 39.2° C; 



p. m., 40° C. 

 June 13 : E. L. ; bled to death, at which time the blood was procured 



to inject carabao 51. 



June 19, carabao 51 presented a rise in temperature, register- 

 ing, in the morning, 39.8° C. ; in the afternoon, 40.7° C.

June 21-23 D., N. E. 



June 23, died of rinderpest, presenting good lesions of that 

 disease upon autopsy. 



In summing up the results of this experiment, it will be noted 

 that carabaos will contract rinderpest when injected with blood 

 from pigs sick with rinderpest. 



PIGS INOCULATED WITH BLOOD FROM CARABAOS SICK WITH 



RINDERPEST 



The following experiments were designed to furnish informa- 

 tion regarding the possibility of pigs contracting rinderpest 

 when inoculated with virulent rinderpest blood from a carabao 

 suffering with that disease.
