Neutralizing antibody and indirect haemagglutination tests on 1653 cattle in the 14 counties of Hokkaido revealed specific antibodies in 130 (32.3%) of 402 imported cattle, 25 (4.5%) of 512 cattle reared on farms with imported cattle, and 11 (1.5%) of 739 Japanese cattle. It is concluded that bovine rhinotracheitis was introduced into Japan with imported cattle and has now become widely spread.
