The African strain of malignant catarrhal fever virus was isolated and identified in a herd of captive Indian gaur (Bos gaurus). Gross lesions included oral ulcerations, corneal opacity, and multifocal myocarditis. Microscopic lesions were characterized by lymphocytic vasculitis/perivasculitis in all tissues examined. Blood was serially passed from a gaur to a domestic heifer (Bos taurus), and then to a domestic calf. Clinical signs and gross and microscopic lesions similar to those of the gaur were seen in both inoculated animals.
恶性卡他热病毒的非洲毒株在一群圈养的印度野牛（白肢野牛）中被分离和鉴定出来。大体病变包括口腔溃疡、角膜混浊和多灶性心肌炎。显微镜下病变的特征是在所检查的所有组织中均有淋巴细胞性血管炎/血管周围炎。血液从一头印度野牛依次传给一头家养小母牛（黄牛），然后再传给一头家养小牛。在两只接种动物中均观察到与印度野牛相似的临床症状、大体病变和显微镜下病变。
