Abstract
In the experiments here reported, definite verruga lesions, in which the presence of Bartonella bacilliformis was established by culture or by passage to rhesus monkeys, were produced in a dog and in a donkey by inoculation of cultures or monkey passage strains. The reaction induced in these animals was entirely local, however; blood cultures were sterile. Histologically, the lesions produced were similar to those obtained in monkeys by inoculation of Bartonella bacilliformis, except for the presence of a marked polynuclear leucocytic exudate. In another donkey a lesion histologically suggestive of verruga was produced, while in one donkey and a horse the results of inoculation were negative or indefinite. The intravenous injection of a filtrate or of heat-killed cultures of Bartonella bacilliformis into two donkeys was followed by the appearance of large, soft, subcutaneous swellings, on various parts of the body, not resembling in any way verruga lesions.
