Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) virus was isolated from ocular secretions of four out of nine free-ranging wildebeest calves, while four out of 11 animals had the virus in nasal secretions. The mean infectivity of virus in ocular and nasal secretions was 10(2.25)TCID50/ml and 10(2.5)TCID50/ml respectively but infectivity of more than 10(3.2)TCID50/ml was found in some ocular and nasal secretions. Thus it appears that MCF virus is excreted via the ocular and nasal routes from wildebeest calves, and the presence of high titre virus supports the suggestion that MCF virus is disseminated by these secretions. This virus was not recovered from urine or saliva.
恶性卡他热（MCF）病毒是从9头自由放养的小角马中的4头的眼部分泌物中分离出来的，而11头动物中有4头的鼻分泌物中含有该病毒。眼部分泌物和鼻分泌物中病毒的平均感染性分别为10(2.25)TCID50/ml和10(2.5)TCID50/ml，但在一些眼部分泌物和鼻分泌物中发现感染性超过10(3.2)TCID50/ml。因此，似乎MCF病毒是从小角马犊牛的眼和鼻途径排出的，高滴度病毒的存在支持了MCF病毒通过这些分泌物传播的观点。这种病毒未从尿液或唾液中分离出来。
