Inclusion Bodies in Rickettsia Orientalis Infection
نویسنده
چکیده
The observations of homogeneous, intracellular inclusion bodies in association with Rickettsia orientalis were made during an investigation of scrub typhus in Imphal in 1945 and were submitted in reports to GHQ(I). Twenty-five strains of R orientalis were isolated from different sources. Similar observations have been made by Giroud and Panthier (1942) and Begg and others (1944) in association with classical typhus during the adaptation of mouse lung material to the lungs of rabbits. When infected blood from patients or tissue material from mites or rats was inoculated in mice by intraperitoneal route in the first one

The nature of immunity against scrub typhus in mice. II. The cross-protection test with mice for identification and differentiation of several strains of Rickettsia orientalis newly isolated in Japan.
The antigenical differences among several strains of Rickettsia orientalis have already been reported by many workers. At first, Bengtson (1945, 1946) differentiated Karp (New Guinea), Seerangayee (Malaya), and Gilliam (Burma) strains of Rickettsia orientalis by complement fixation, and later Philip (1947) observed that sera of patients of tsutsu gamushi disease in Japan could be divided into t...

Part II consists of the methods of bacteriological technique, and its contents are of value both to the laboratory worker and the advanced student. A surprising amount of information is available which would otherwise have to be obtained from various and probably obscure sources. The recipes for media-making are comprehensive and varied, and the methods well arranged. They include, among others...

Soluble and particulate complement-fixing antigens of Rickettsia sennetsu were prepared from spleen suspensions of mice infected with the rickettsia and treated with cyclophosphamide. The medium used during purification of antigens, a solution consisting of equal volumes of phosphate-glutamate-sucrose buffer and veronal-buffered saline, was suitable for obtaining antigens with high titers and n...
متن کاملUltrastructure of Ehrlichia canis.
The ultrastructure of Ehrlichia canis was examined in both pulmonary mononuclear cells and in monocytes cultured from an infected dog. The cytoplasmic inclusions, or morulae, of E. canis consisted of a membrane-lined vacuole-containing elementary bodies which varied in size and number. The elementary bodies were bound by two trilamellar membranes. The organism shared morphological properties of...

It is well known that Tsutsugamushi disease or scrub typhus in Japan has been prevalent in a limited northern district of the country, but Japanese investigators were not aware that there was a different type of scrub typhus in other parts of Japan, although some sporadic cases had been reported in the foothills of Mt. Fuji (Sakita, 1934), and Kanagawa Prefecture (Fukuzumi et al., 1950), which ...
