cattle	Experimental transmission of virus from field infections is widely used and is the only available method of studying unadapted virus (1,17). Effects of route of infection (intracerebral (25), intracervical (3) to the foetus (27)) or age (26) have also been defined.
sheep	Some strains at least have been shown to produce subclinical infection in sheep (9). References cited in (9) list earlier unsuccessful attempts.
