Established immunity was especially labile to cortisol and cortisone administration with generalized Besnoitia relapse occurring consistently in all hamsters; this occurred infrequently during cyclophosphamide treatment. Focal relapse was seen in chronically irradiated and ALS-treated hamsters, but the l...
