This animal gradually recovered. 



In summing up the results of these two experiments, it will 

 be noted that pigs will contract rinderpest when inoculated with 

 virulent rinderpest blood from a carabao. 



RINDERPEST TRANSMITTED FROM CATTLE TO PIGS BY MEANS OF THE

This experiment was designed to furnish information regard- 

 ing the possibility of transmitting rinderpest from cattle sick

with rinderpest to pigs by means of the caretaker. The sick 

 cattle and the susceptible pigs were cared for by the same man. 



EXPERIMENT 40 



On March 13, 1916, pigs 270, 271, 269, and 273 were placed 

 in separate stalls in the same shed, where cattle sick with rin- 

 derpest were kept. These pigs were not kept in quarantine 

 previous to their exposure and did not come in direct contact 

 with the sick cattle, but were cared for by the same man, who 

 took care of the sick cattle. 



March 21, 1916, pig 270, native, three months old, presented 

 a rise in temperature, registering, in the afternoon, 39.6° C. ; this 

 was eight days after the initial exposure.
