  • Beschreibung: 1. A lymph node suspension prepared from either spleen-intact or splenectomized latent-infected Bartonella muris carrier rats will produce a typical bartonellosis in spleen-intact and splenectomized adult mice when inoculated intraperitoneally. 2. Evidence is presented to show that the organisms are removed from the peripheral blood by the phagocytic action of the circulating neutrophils and lymph node macrophages. 3. The phagocytic action of the neutrophils and lymph node macrophages appears to be the critical factor in latent infections in carrier rats.
