Summary
Employing complement fixation tests and virus isolation procedures, 598 Syrian hamsters from 11 colonies were examined for LCM virus; 6 colonies were found to be infected. A new colony was started with adult hamsters from a heavily infected colony as breeding stock. LCM virus could not be detected among the progeny.
