Abstract
Wells (1937) discovered that field voles in this country are subject to an epizootic disease due to an acid-fast bacillus. The natural disease in the vole is characterized by the deposition of a cheesy substance in the areolar tissue spaces and the formation in the organs, the lungs particularly, of lesions which have a close resemblance to those of tuberculosis.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
