A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE ACTION OF NOVEMBICHIN, HISTAMINE, AND CHICKEN YOLK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL PLAGUE,
Abstract
In single administration of novembichin and chicken yolk there was a considerable rise of the body sensitivity of albino mice to weakly virulent and avirulent Past. pestis strains; i.e., under the effect of the preparations mentioned the animals' life span was reduced more than two-fold and the possibility of isolating the Past. pestis culture increased 3-4 fold. The action of histamine in this respect was insignificant. Consequently, the administration of chicken egg yolk and novembichin may be successfully used for a more thorough investigation of the focus, detection of residual infectiousness and isolation of Past. pestis strains of low virulence.
