The clinical manifestations and course of a highly contagious and acutely fatal disease designated as rabbit pox have been described. The general symptomatology of this infection varies within wide limits and accurate diagnosis rests on the occurrence of certain characteristic lesions. The most distinctive sign of infection is a pock-like eruption which is often outspoken and widespread over the body, but is sometimes poorly defined and detectable only after careful physical examination. Other lesions depend upon the involvement of particular organs and give rise to special symptoms. As a rule, the incubation period of the epidemic infection varies between 5 and 7 days. No evidence of the transmission of the infection by recovered animals could be obtained. Furthermore, breeding tests demonstrated that the reproductive capacities of most animals were not permanently impaired.
已描述了一种高度传染性和急性致命疾病的临床表现和病程，被指定为兔痘。这种感染的一般症状在很大范围内变化，准确的诊断取决于某些特征性病变的发生。感染的最明显标志是痘样疹，通常明显且广泛分布于全身，但有时定义不明确，只有经过仔细的体格检查才能发现。其他病变取决于特定器官的受累，并引起特殊症状。通常，流行感染的潜伏期在 5 到 7 天之间。没有证据表明已康复的动物会传播这种感染。此外，繁殖试验表明，大多数动物的繁殖能力没有永久受损。
