Experimental infection of man with pig whipworm.

Experimental infection of man with pig whipworm.

metry please, hydramnios; and what constituted a positive radiological correlation in such cases? The method used for scoring agreements in this study (stated simply as "whether the radiological interpretation agreed with the clinical diagnosis as stated on the request card") is not clearly defined (except when nothing was detected on a routine-no pathology suspected-request). Perhaps the autho...

Experimental infection of man with rabbit-virulent Treponema paraluis-cuniculi.

Virulent Treponema paraluis-cuniculi was inoculated intradermally into the arm of a human volunteer and into the shaved backs of 10 rabbits. An identical, but heat-killed, preparation was inoculated into the opposite arm of the volunteer as control. A superficial and transient infection developed in the volunteer, shown by a small zone of erythema that persisted for 24 days. The control prepara...

An apparent case of human infection with the whipworm of dogs, Trichuris vulpis (Froelich, 1789).

Experimental guinea pig ocular infection by Salmonella typhimurium.

The clinical, microbiologic, and cytologic features of the guinea pig model of keratoconjunctivitis with enterobacteria, Salmonella typhimurium were elucidated. Guinea pig eyes were instilled with S. typhimurium and the eyes were studied by biomicroscopy, culture, cytology, pathology, and electron microscopy. All animals developed moderate to severe conjunctivitis that was present in 18% of the...

Experimental infection of pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) with Campylobacter cinaedi and Campylobacter fennelliae.

Campylobacter cinaedi and C. fennelliae have been associated with proctocolitis, bacteremia, and asymptomatic rectal infection, primarily in homosexual men. To more directly assess the pathogenic role of these organisms, we studied their disease-producing potential in 12- to 25-day-old pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina). Four infant monkeys were challenged with 10(8) to 10(9) C. cinaedi, t...
