Control of Hemotropic Diseases of Dogs.
Abstract
Sennetsu rickettsiosis earlier referred to as infectious mononucleosis, glandular fever, Hyuga fever and kagami fever is an infectious disease of man caused by Rickettsia sennetsu. Microscopic examination of cultured human and canine blood monocytes infected with Rickettsia sennetsu and stained by the Giemsa method revealed (1) loosely scattered individual organisms, (2) clusters of organisms, (3) various sizes of dense inclusion bodies in intact and vacuolated cytoplasm, and (4) organisms in proximity to disintegrated monocytes. The ultrathin sections of R. sennetsu in human and canine monocytes confirmed earlier work of Anderson et al., (1965) that the individual as well as clusters of R. sennetsu organisms are confined to a membrane-lined vacuole.
