A serologic survey of 60 eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) from three counties in Pennsylvania was conducted in March 1983. Serum antibody prevalences for Herpesvirus sylvilagus and La Crosse virus (California serogroup) were less than 4%. There was no evidence of previous exposure to either Jamestown Canyon or snowshoe hare viruses (California serogroup). Antibody to trivittatus virus (California serogroup) was found in 60% of the 20 cottontails from York County. No cottontails had antibodies to Bacillus piliformis, the etiologic agent of Tyzzer's disease.
1983年3月,对宾夕法尼亚州三个县的60只东部棉尾兔(佛罗里达棉尾兔)进行了血清学调查。兔疱疹病毒和拉克罗斯病毒(加利福尼亚血清群)的血清抗体阳性率低于4%。没有证据表明此前曾接触过詹姆斯敦峡谷病毒或雪兔病毒(加利福尼亚血清群)。在约克县的20只棉尾兔中,60%检测到了三带病毒(加利福尼亚血清群)抗体。没有棉尾兔对泰泽病的病原体——毛样芽孢杆菌产生抗体。
