A Note on the Cultivation of an Entamœba from a Monkey (Macacus Rhesus)

Some Observations on Balantidium Coli and Entamœba Histolytica of Macaques

parts of salt solution. But when faeces from the monkey Silenus (Macacus) rhesus, which are invariably crammed with blastocystis, are inoculated into the above medium and incubated at 37?C.?the optimum temperature for growth of most of the intestinal protozoa of warm-blooded hosts?the fungus develops with very great rapidity, with consequent destruction of any Balantidium coli which may be pres...

Myocardial Infarction in a Rhesus Monkey

Myocardial necrosis can be result from a number of causes including nutritional deficiencies, chemical and plant toxins, ischemia and metabolic disorder. The outcome of myocardial necrosis varies depending on the extent of the damage (Donald 2001, Jubb 1993, Radostits 1994, Vanvaleet 1986). Myocardial infarction without demonstrable of atherosclerosis were reported in a rhesus macaque (Gonder 1...

Studies on the Etiology of Spontaneous Conjunctival Folliculosis of Monkeys

Spontaneous folliculosis of Macacus rhesus monkeys-a type of follicular conjunctivitis associated with marked, local, inflammatory reactions-is apparently a disease sui generis, due to a specific infectious agent. It can be transmitted from monkey to monkey by means of subconjunctival injection of suspensions, and by conjunctival swabbing of the secretions, of affected tissues, or by contact of...

Respiratory versus Gastro-intestinal Infection in Poliomyelitis

The debated problem of gastro-intestinal versusrespiratory mode of infection in poliomyelitis has been restudied by several investigators recently, with conflicting findings. Kling and Levaditi in Europe carried out experiments from 1929 to 1933, which led them to the conclusion that the digestive tract affords a ready entrance of the virus of the disease into the body. They believe that the su...
