Article: Antibody response in rabbits following oral administration of human rota-, calici- and adenovirus. Brief report

Rota-, calici-, adeno- and astrovirus extracted from human faeces were administered orally to eight rabbits. Antibody rise was demonstrated in some of the animals against rota-, calici- and adenovirus. Clinical illness or virus excretion was not observed.
