Abstract
Minimal clinical and hematologic signs were observed in silvered leaf monkeys inoculated intradermally with four strains of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi, both virulent and avirulent for laboratory mice. The clinical response of the monkeys to the infection was related to neither the virulence of the strains in mice nor the antigenic characteristics of the strains.Keywords
