The possible use of the rabbit's brain as a medium for mass production of sterile vaccine (advocated by Levaditi) also adds importance to the question. A considerable number of European workers have succeeded in producing what they regard as a vaccinal encephalitis in rabbits. Levaditi and his co-workers since 1921 have developed a strain of vaccine virus known as neurovaccine which produces regularly on intracerebral injection into rabbits a typical encephalitis with paralytic symptoms
