An epidemic of acute respiratory disease in a colony of CFE rats is described, the main laboratory findings are recorded and its aetiology discussed.The epidemic showed that severe respiratory disease varying from peracute to chronic was associated with infection of the lungs with a mycoplasma but that mycoplasmas could be present in rats, even in the lungs, without signs of disease, thus suggesting that one or more other factors were involved. It is also evident that there are strain differences in the susceptibility of rats to this disease.
描述了CFE大鼠群体中急性呼吸道疾病的一次流行，记录了主要实验室检查结果并讨论了其病因。该次流行表明，从超急性到慢性的严重呼吸道疾病与肺部支原体感染有关，但支原体可存在于大鼠体内，甚至肺部，而无疾病迹象，因此提示还涉及一种或多种其他因素。同样明显的是，大鼠对这种疾病的易感性存在品系差异。
