Abstract
Abstract Cocal virus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) were compared with respect to plaque formation and multiplication in BHK21 cell layers at various temperatures, and sensitivity to heat and visible light. The viruses were found to be inactivated at a similar rate by heat and by visible light. There was, on the other hand, a difference in the heat sensitivity of plaque formation and multiplication. While VSV could multiply and form plaques at temperatures up to 41°, Cocal virus could only do so up to 39°. These results are discussed in relation to the apparently low pathogenicity of Cocal virus compared with VSV.
