Guinea pigs, rhesus monkeys and marmosets were infected with L. pneumophila in small particle aerosols. Fever and acute fibrinopurulent pneumonia resulted. The lesions involved distal lung tissue only, spreading from terminal and respiratory bronchioles and producing heavy infiltration of alveoli by polymorphs and macrophages and widespread exudation of oedema fluid and fibrin. Lesions were not found in extra-pulmonary sites.
豚鼠、恒河猴和狨猴通过小颗粒气溶胶感染嗜肺军团菌。结果出现发热和急性纤维蛋白脓性肺炎。病变仅累及肺远端组织，从终末细支气管和呼吸性细支气管蔓延，导致肺泡被多形核白细胞和巨噬细胞大量浸润，以及广泛的水肿液和纤维蛋白渗出。肺外部位未发现病变。
