Infectious viruses for the biological control of rice-field rats : rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV) as a suitable candidate for the development of immunocontraceptive vaccines.
A serologic survey of viruses infecting rice-field rats (Rattus argentiventer)in Malaysia was conducted in five different geographic locations. Results indicate that approximately 50% of the rice-field rats were positive for rat crytomegalovirus (RCMV). A lower prevalence rate has been demonstrated...
