Ferret Foetal Infection with Influenza Virus at Early Gestation

M H Collie, D I Rushton, C Sweet, R H Husseini, H Smith
PMCID: PMC2040635  PMID: 7093143

Abstract

Ferret foetal infection at early gestation was ensured by direct intraamniotic inoculation of influenza virus. Foetal infection was followed by death and resorption but was not associated with malformations.
