Abstract
IT has been generally believed that domestic or wild birds are resistant to infection with the virus of foot-and-mouth disease. Previous studies had been largely limited to experiments in mature birds which were observed mainly for epithelial lesions. Consideration was given, therefore, to the possibility that this virus might infect young chicks, with the involvement of cardiac and skeletal muscle as is observed in infection of the young of many other species.
