Rev Sci Tech. 1994 Sep;13(3):869-79. doi: 10.20506/rst.13.3.803.

Abstract

The authors present an epizootiological analysis of myxomatosis in Poland. The biological, physical and chemical properties of virus strains used for the production and control of 'Myxovac M' vaccine are discussed. The long-term stability, safety and efficacy of the vaccine are demonstrated. Laboratory experiments were confirmed in large-scale field observations.
