چکیده
An important manifestation of Bacterium lepisepticum infection in the rabbit is pneumonia, which occurs spontaneously and is producible experimentally. In the course of our studies on the epidemiology of the disease, we have considered certain other phases of the infection--snuffles, otitis media, and the cartier state. Our present effort has been to classify pathologically the pneumonic lesions and to determine the conditions under which one or another of the type lesions arises. This paper deals with the results of the investigation.
