Latent Haemobartonella muris infection: its transmission and decline in an inbred, ectoparasite-free strain of Wistar rat
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
Ectoparasite-free, SPF Italian Wistar rats were consistently found to carry a latent infection with Haemobartonella muris, activable by splen ectomy. In an inbred line this diminished and eventually ceased in six generations. Experimental infection from wild rats demonstrated that this was not apparently due to immunity.
