...coat. But how to anticipate nature? That would require capturing all the Hong Kong derivative strains now available, growing them in the laboratory and attacking them with different types of antibody. Most would be neutralized, but in this artificial equivalent of the Darwinian process of natural selection, a few mutant strains would survive because their protein coat patterns differ from those of earlier strains. If, as is almost certain, the survivors share a certain characteristic-what virologists call a common antigen-it should be possible to make a vaccine which would protect against that antigen and therefore against all such...

...Frogs, Ray Milland is devoured by-you guessed it. In The Night of the Lepus, Janet Leigh is hungrily eyed by 1,500 mad, mutant rabbits, photographed so that they appear six feet tall.

...Long before ecology became fashionable, a Finnish mink breeder named Emil Hoglund began his drive to protect spotted cats. Finding a mutant female mink with pale brown spots on its white fur, he carefully bred it with a normal mink. After nine years of inbreeding, Hoglund had produced a new strain: a deeply spotted mink with a strong resemblance to the jaguar, which has been hunted to near extinction for its luxurious pelt. Manhattan furrier Reiss & Fabrizio has received the first of the "Fin-Jaguar" furs from the Danish firm Keppo, and has the coats on sale...
