Abstract
Guineapigs that were intranasally inoculated with pneumonia virus of m ice (PVM) seroconverted to PVM by 11 days post-infection. During the c ourse of study (2-60 days postinfection) no gross or histologic lesion s were identified within the lungs that could be attributed to PVM inf ection. Mild rhinitis and tracheitis were found in most animals and ac ute purulent bronchopneumonia in two animals which may have resulted f rom spontaneous subclinical Bordetella bronchiseptica infection. Viral and bacterial respiratory diseases of the guineapig are briefly revie wed.
