Abstract
Andrewes and Horstmann1 grouped rabies virus as ether resistant, based on reports of other investigators2,3. During a recent investigation in this laboratory, strains of arctic rabies virus lost 95–97 per cent of their infectivity following exposure to 20 per cent ether at 4° C for 16 h. This observed reduction in infectivity and the variations in reported methods for determining the effect of ether on rabies virus led to investigations comparing the action of ether on different strains of rabies virus.
