The quantitative transmission of Litomosoides carinii by Liponyssus bacoti to un-irradiated and irradiated hamsters and mice is described. Both young and adult, un-irradiated and irradiated hamsters were highly susceptible to L. carinii but mice (un-irradiated or irradiated) were poor hosts. All hamsters (18 un-irradiated and seven irradiated) became infected. Seven out of nine mice in an un-irradiated series became infected. There was apparently 'age resistance' or 'young susceptibility' in the hamsters. The susceptibility of young hamsters appeared similar to that of new-born Carworth white rats and cotton rats. The pattern of infection in un-irradiated and irradiated hamsters was similar. Results from irradiated animals were insufficient to draw any clear conclusions on the effect of irradiation to susceptibility to infection with L. carinii. X-irradiation apparently did not affect the innate susceptibility cr resistance of hamsters and mice to worms. The duration and intensity of microfilaraemia was apparently higher in irradiated hamsters.
描述了巴氏厉螨将卡里尼丝虫定量传播给未照射和照射过的仓鼠及小鼠的情况。未照射和照射过的幼年及成年仓鼠对卡里尼丝虫高度易感，但小鼠（未照射或照射过）是不适宜的宿主。所有仓鼠（18只未照射和7只照射过的）均被感染。在一个未照射组的9只小鼠中，有7只被感染。仓鼠中显然存在“年龄抗性”或“幼年易感性”。幼年仓鼠的易感性似乎与新生的卡沃思白鼠和棉鼠相似。未照射和照射过的仓鼠的感染模式相似。来自照射动物的结果不足以就照射对卡里尼丝虫感染易感性的影响得出任何明确结论。X射线照射显然不影响仓鼠和小鼠对蠕虫的先天易感性或抗性。照射过的仓鼠中微丝蚴血症的持续时间和强度显然更高。
