Abstract excerpt
Several inbred strains of mice were inoculated with Serpula (Treponema) hyodysenteriae B204 to determine susceptibility to infection. Challenge doses of 10(7) or 10(8) spirochetes induced cecal lesions in C3H/HeJ mice and other C3H strains of mice. However, more than a 100-fold difference existed between the dose required to induce lesions in 50% of the infected C3H/HeJ mice (8.3 x 10(7)) and that required to...
