Summary

The responses of susceptible purebred and crossbred Nigerian Dwarf goats to caprinized rinderpest virus differed significantly. The factor responsible was probably not innate.

Résumé

Les réponses des chèvres naines de Nigéria de race pure ou de race métisse au virus caprinisé de la peste bovine ont montré des différences significatives. Le facteur responsable de ces variations n'était sans doute pas d'ordre génétique.

Resumen

La reacción de cabras susceptibles de raza pura y cruzadas al virus caprinizado de “Rinderpest” diferió considerablemente. El factor responsable probablemente no era homologo.
