Nocardia infections in congenitally athymic (nude) mice and in other inbred mouse strains.
The mortality rate and histopathological features of Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis infections in congenitally athymic (nude) mice of ICR and C3H/eB origins were quite different from what we found for Swiss white mice and other inbred mouse strains (namely, C57/BL/6J, New Zealand Black, BALB/c, CBA/LAC, and C3H/eB). The immunocompetent littermates of the congenitally athymic mice...
متن کاملExperimental Q fever infection in congenitally athymic nude mice.
Congenitally athymic nude (nu/nu) mice and their phenotypically normal (nu/+) euthymic littermates were exposed to Coxiella burnetii administered as small-particle aerosols. After challenge, both strains of mice became infected, as characterized by rickettsemia, viable rickettsiae in the spleen, and serological conversion. The major difference noted was that euthymic animals had cleared rickett...
متن کاملChronic chlamydial genital infection in congenitally athymic nude mice.
Congenitally athymic nude mice and their heterozygous counterparts were inoculated intravaginally with the chlamydial agent of mouse pneumonitis, a Chlamydia trachomatis biovar. Heterozygous mice resolved their infections in 20 days, whereas nude mice developed chronic infections which lasted at least 265 days and did not resolve within the time course of the experiments. Heterozygous mice prod...
متن کاملPersistent Cryptosporidium infection in congenitally athymic (nude) mice.
Nude (nu/nu) BALB/c mice and their white (nu/+) littermates were experimentally infected with Cryptosporidium sp. at 6 days of age. In white mice, the infection was transient, but in nude mice a persistent infection developed that was characterized by diarrhea and, occasionally, death. There were villus atrophy and crypt hyperplasia in the small intestine of infected nude and white mice necrops...
متن کاملChronic infection with Trypanosoma musculi in congenitally athymic nude mice.
Trypanosoma musculi produces a chronic infection with a consistently elevated parasitemia in nude mice. Thymic reconstitution of nude mice restores immunity to the infection.
