Quantitative Studies of Typhus Fever Rickettsiae Pathogenic for Mice

Abstract

In this report, a presentation is made of a method for the quantitative evaluation of virulent rickettsiae contained in organs. It is to be assumed that the higher the content of rickettsiae in the starting material, the more effective will be the vaccine. A sure and economical method for the computation of the degree of virulence is necessary in order to choose those conditions under which the greatest rickettsial concentration is obtained.
