Abstract
IN October 1966 a disease was observed among pigs in Lombardy, Italy, which was indistinguishable from foot and mouth disease. Biological and serological tests indicated that the Italian disease was unlikely to be foot and mouth disease, so further studies were carried out at Brescia and Pirbright to characterize the causal agent.
