Abstract
Material has been preserved in the lyophile state from animals or arthropods infected with Rocky Mt. spotted fever, endemic typhus, epidemic typhus, and the rickettsiae recently described by Cox. The characteristic disease is produced upon testing with no change in virulence as indicated by incubation periods, fatality rates, and scrotal lesions.Keywords
