Virus stocks were originally obtained as freeze dried rabbit tissue from Prof. Frank Fenner, John Curtin School of Medical Research, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia.
Virus stocks were from viruses plaque purified as described previously [49].
Virus was from an ampoule of freeze dried rabbit tissue powder prepared by the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories for rabbit control.
