DISTEMPER
B EPORTFJD PREVENTION ~ ’ DISCOVERY. (Received this day at 9.25. a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 22. The discovery of a vaccine immunising dogs from distemper, is claimed hv the Medical Research Council’s laboratories. Members of the research staff. P. P. Laidlaw and G. W. Dunkin, report the smallest mortality where dogs have been immunised, the results proving most encouraging.
Lord Mildmay describes the experiments as epoch making. The malignant agency of distemper is similar to that of influenza in humans, whereof it is hoped discoveries are a great step nearer prevention.
