A CONTRIBUTION TO THE PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY OF PLAGUE IN GREAT GERBILS UNDER NATURAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

The pathologoanatomical picture was studied in 182 naturally infected great gerbils. Of these, in 12% a generalized form of plague with the presence of septicemia was recorded, and in 88% a local form of infection was noted. In the latter the plague microbe was isolated only from the liver in 9%, only from the spleen in 44%, simultaneously from both organs in 28%, from the adrenal glands in 0.5%, and by means of only a biological test -- in 3% of the cases.
