SWINE INFLUENZA IlL FILTRATION EXPERIMENTS AND ETIOLOGY
نویسنده
چکیده
McBryde, Niles, and Moskey (1) made five attempts to pass the etiological agent of swine influenza through small Berkefeld or Mandler filters but were unable to reproduce the disease by dropping such filtrates into the nostrils of normal hogs. In two of these experiments unfiltered material failed to produce the disease in their control animals. Although these experiments are too few in number to be conclusive, they indicate that the causative agent of swine influenza is not a filtrable virus.

Complement fixation studies on influenza A virus (1) infections have been conducted chiefly with human sera and antigens derived from influenza mouse lungs. The use of this test to assay ferret immune sera, however, seems to have been hampered by the occurrence of non-specific or heterophile reactions (2) when such sera were tested against mouse lung suspensions. Since complement fixation offer...

Extracts of soots obtained from various sources were applied to the skin of mice in an effort to identify carcinogens in these mixtures and to link these materials to the etiology of human cancer. Samples of coal chimney soot, coke oven materials, industrial carbon black, oil shale soot, and gasoline vehicle exhaust materials have been examined by this method. The studies reported here have bee...

The economic importance of lymphomatosis is attested by the huge losses that it causes in all sections where poultry are kept. Much work has been done during the last two decades on the transmission and etiology of this disease. One of the greatest handicaps in its experimental study is the apparent long and variable incubation period. Deaths from naturally occurring lymphomatosis have been not...
