Important relations between Borna disease of horses and human encephalitis have been established through the neuropathological studies of Seifried and Spatz,1Nicolau and Galloway2and others. A rare opportunity was afforded to establish the existence of a new virus disease in horses and mules which made its appearance in California during the summer and fall months of 1930 and 1931. It is a privilege to act...References1 SEIFRIEDSPATZ CH: Die Ausbreitung der enzephalitischen Reaktion bei der Bornaschen Krankheit der Pferde und deren Beziehungen zur Encephalitis epidemica zur Heine-Medinschen Krankheit und zur Lyssa des Menschen.
