Further studies are presented on the susceptibility to yellow fever virus of African wild mammals. It is confirmed that hedgehogs are highly susceptible to inoculations of yellow fever virus. The other insectivores studied, the shrews, were found to be resistant to inoculations of viscerotropic virus. Of all the other animals tested, only in genets did virus circulate in a quantity which it is believed might infect an arthropod vector. Some palm civets which developed antibody after inoculation lost all demonstrable antibody after various intervals.This phenomenon was observed only in those palm civets in which no circulating virus was found. The results of some neutralization tests on the sera of wild animals other than anthropoids and rodents are summarized.
