STUDIES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES OF TAIWAN.
Abstract
Trachoma and inclusion conjunctivitis strains (TRIC strains) isolated on Taiwan and those received from laboratories throughout the world were classified in the mouse toxicity prevention test into three major groups from ocular trachoma and three other major groups made up almost entirely on non-ocular trachoma TRIC strains (e.g., genital, inclusion conjunctivitis). Vaccine studies in monkeys confirmed that protection with oil adjuvant preparations of purified vaccines can be obtained with the homologous but not heterologous TRIC strains. TRIC agents, cytomegalovirus and herpes virus were isolated from the genital tract of pregnant woment in Taiwan. The significance of these isolations is under investigation. Sudies were continued on the growth of TRIC agents and tissue culture and the factors retarding continuous passage. (Author)
