...Carre announced but did not prove that distemper is caused by a filterable virus. Only animals which have never been exposed to disease are useful in experiment. Researchers Laidlaw & Dunkin bred their own pups, kept them in a rigidly sanitary compound. When, by inoculation, they could produce distemper in these dogs, they knew they had isolated its virus. It was easy then to prepare a protective vaccine. From the blood of dogs hyperimmunized by repeated injections of vaccine and virus, they developed a curative serum...
...keep a healthy dog from ever having distemper it is now necessary only to inject in it (preferably at the age of three months) two doses of Laidlaw-Dunkin vaccine, followed fortnight later by a dose of living virus. Preferred by some dog-owners because it involves only one trip to the veterinarian is a simultaneous inoculation with serum and virus. Theoretically sound, the practical worth of the simultaneous method has not yet been established. To cure sick dogs, an injection of serum during the early stages of the disease has proven effective...
Three years ago the Lederle Laboratories began producing Laidlaw-Dunkin preparations in the U. S. Use and success have been widespread. Inoculating 163 purebred pups, Cornell's Dr. Charles Rupert Stockard found 92% immune on exposure to infection, 4% exhibiting only slight symptoms of the disease. Only three were severely affected by inoculation...
Ready to join dog-owners in fervent gratitude to the Field Council and its researchers is many a fur-breeder. Distemper has often wiped out stocks of silver fox, ferret, fitch, mink, fisher. Preliminary experiments indicate that the Laidlaw-Dunkin treatment will be effective for these animals...
