The mouse inoculation test in rabies diagnosis: early diagnosis in mice during the incubation period

W A Webster et al. Can J Comp Med. 1976 Jul.

Abstract

Brain tissue from 64 rabies suspect specimens were inoculated intracerebrally into twenty 9-12 gm adult Swiss white mice. Two mice from each specimen were killed on specific days postinoculation and examined for the presence of rabies virus by the fluorescent antibody staining technique. In this way a positive diagnosis was made in the majority of cases between postinoculation days 4 and 12 when the incubation period of these same specimens ranged between eight and 20 days.
