Abstract
Agglutination and agglutinin absorption tests afford evidence of the identity of the rickettsiae which are the etiological agents of Australian "Q" fever, a disease affecting principally abattoir workers in that country, and a similar disease which occurred as the result of a probable laboratory infection in a member of the staff of the Natl. Institute of Health. Further evidence of the identity of the 2 organisms has been shown in tests with immune and convalescent sera and Berkefeld N filtrates and ultra-filtrates, though this test was not shown to be that of a true precipitin reaction.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
