Further Attempts to Infect Laboratory Animals with Theileria Parva

Abstract

We have continued with our attempts to infect small laboratory animals with Theileria parva (Brocklesby & Vidler, 1961). The methods that were applied to Mesocricetur auratus, Oryctolagus Uniculus, Rattus natalensis and Arvicanthis abyssinicus have now been used to attempt to infect young adults of our laboratory strain of white mice. Each group contained 5 animals.
