Abstract
Guinea pigs exposed simultaneously by parenteral or respiratory route to Brucella suis and sublethal doses of Coxiella burnetii developed both brucellosis and Q fever although animals thus infected showed less severe illness than animals infected with B. suis alone. Guinea pigs infected 11 or more days previously with B. suis showed a significant resistance to lethal doses of C. burnetii. This "interference" cannot be explained on the basis of demonstrable immunological factors.Keywords
