DEFORMITIES IN BONES AND TEETH OF HAMSTERS, CAUSED BY LATENT RAT VIRUS,

Abstract

The deformities which are produced in hamsters by latent rat virus are a result of the effect of the virus upon the osteogenesis and, possibly, lesion of the osteoblasts. The long bones are particularly affected at the ends where growth takes place; therefore, the results of injuries to the skeleton and the teeth became more apparent with the growth of the animals.
