Abstract

1. Material taken from a ferret sick of a disease epidemic among breeders' stocks in 1935 was shown to produce a similar disease when inoculated into normal ferrets.2. The behaviour of the experimental disease and its pathology indicated that it was a form of distemper, antigenically related to dog distemper, but differing in minor points from the description of canine distemper in the ferret given by Dunkin & Laidlaw.3. Associated with the disease was a strain of Brucella bronchiseptica which may possibly have been responsible for the high incidence of bronchopneumonia observed.
