Abstract
SUMMARY Swiss mice systemically infected with moniliasis showed a more severe dissemination of the infection and higher death rate when kept at controlled temperatures of 5°-12° C and 35°-37° C than at temperatures of 15°-20° C and 28°-32 C. Uninfected animals kept at the same temperatures as the experimental animals were apparently unaffected. The significance of increases of environmental temperature on the pathogenesis of moniliasis is discussed.Keywords
