ON THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SWAMP FEVER. REPORT NO. 5. DISEASES IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF INFECTED FOODSTUFFS (K Epidemiologii Vodnoi Likhoradki Soobshchenie v Zabolevaniya Pri Upotreblenii Infitsirovannykh Pishchevykh Produktov)

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to generalize published data concerning the transmission of swamp fever through foodstuffs. Swamp fever can be transmitted through foodstuffs through the consumption of products obtained from infected animals or through products secondarily infected with swamp fever leptospirae from rodent excreta. Since food products are considered as an independent factor in the transmission of infection, human alimentary infections should be isolated as an independent type of swamp fever infections.
