Experimental Syphilis in the Rabbit

In a series of more than 200 rabbits in which generalized lesions were observed following local inoculation with Treponema pallidum, there were a number of animals in which characteristic lesions were noted upon mucous membranes or along mucocutaneous borders. These lesions were distributed with about equal frequency between the nose or nasolacrimal system and the eyelids on the one hand, and t...

Effects of griseofulvin in experimental rabbit syphilis.

We have previously reported the effects of some antibiotics on experimental rabbit syphilis (Fujita, Asada, and Amawashi, 1962). The recent resurgence of infectious syphilis has led us to look for more effective anti-luetic agents. From this point of view we are studying the ultrastructure of spirochaetes (Hasegawa, Sasahira, and Matsuura, 1965; Hasegawa and Sasahira, 1965; Hasegawa, Komura, an...

Experimental Syphilis of Oriental Origin: Clinical Reaction in the Rabbit

Two oriental strains of T. pallidum of Chinese origin were compared with two well known occidental strains, the Nichols and the Zinsser-Hopkins, on the basis of the clinical reaction to infection in the rabbit. Four experiments were carried out, two each in Peiping and New York. Animals from American and Chinese sources were represented in each experiment. The results obtained showed that the r...
