Abstract
Intracut. vaccination of guinea pigs with the vole bacillus gave a high degree of protection against subsequent infection with virulent human tubercle bacilli, but not greater than that given by BCG. The author gives numerous data on the character and distribution of the tuberculous lesions in the vaccinated animals.Keywords
