EXPERIMENTAL TRANSMISSION OF EXANTHEMATIC TYPHUS THROUGH BODY LICE

Abstract

The experiments show that it is possible to transmit exanthematic typhus from a Chinese macaca who had been infected to a new Chinese macaca by means of a body louse. The application of this datum to etiology and to prophylaxy of the malady in man should be made. The measures against typhus inroads must aim at the destruction of the parasites; they will especially aim at the body, the body garments, the clothes and the bedding of the patients.
