Abstract
Summary
An adenovirus was isolated from the blood of a feral Peromyscus mani-culatus collected in January, 1963, from Kern County, Calif. The virus was classified as an adenovirus on the basis of the possession of the adenovirus group CF antigen, type of CPE in and susceptibility of a range of cell culture systems, and insensitivity to chloroform. The virus was not neutralized by rabbit antisera to human adenovirus types 1 through 30 or mouse adenovirus. It differs from other nonhuman adenoviruses in host range in tissue culture, and is considered to represent a previously undescribed adenovirus.
We are indebted to Dr. D. R. Roberts for the collection of rodents.
