説明
<jats:p>Experiments are described which demonstrate that human body lice (Pediculus humanus corporis), were infected experimentally with murine and epidemic louse-borne strains of typhus fever by feeding on suitably prepared rabbits. Details of the two methods of infection, the "bleb technique" and the "I.V. technique," are presented.</jats:p> <jats:p>It is concluded that the experimental infection of human lice with typhus can be accomplished very easily and rapidly with these methods. The possible applications of the method are discussed.</jats:p>
