Popis: Hydranencephaly was produced in a foetus and a calf by intra-uterine infection with an attenuated Type 10 bluetongue virus. Laparotomy was performed on the respective dams and the foetuses, respectively 126 days and 138 days old, were inoculated intramuscularly through the uterine wall with 1 ml of a virus suspension containing 5 x 103 tissue culture infective doese. The younger feotus was aborted on Day 262, while the other one was born alive on Day 273. Both foetuses showed marked hydranencephaly.
