Abstract

Two fractions of the same Type “C” Waldmann, subtype“C3” Indaial foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus suspension were added respectively to equal volume of glycerine and an ordinary diluent (Earle’s saline containing 2,000 UI of penicillin G and 2,0 miligrams of stretomyc in per mililiter), and stored at -20°C. The results obtained at 117, 150, 185 and 213 days after their preparation by means of replicated consecutive titration test using suckling mice, showed higher stability for the glycerine-added suspension.
