4. INFLUENCE OF GUINEA PIG PLASMA FACTORS ON PHAGOCYTOSIS OF PASTEURELLA PESTIS: II. Plasma from Plague-Infected Guinea Pigs
Stanziale, W. G. (Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.) and J. D. White. Influence of guinea pig plasma factors on phagocytosis of Pasteurella pestis. II. Plasma from plague-infected guinea pigs. J. Bacteriol. 83:182–186. 1962.—The phagocytosis enhancing property of normal guinea pig plasma was altered during experimental plague infection. The most notable chang

5. Evaluation of live attenuated plague vaccines in Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis.
A live attenuated Yersinia pestis vaccine designated EV76-51f, which had previously been shown to be pathogenic in vervet monkeys but not in guinea pigs, was tested in the multimammate mouse Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis. Doses of 10(6) viable organisms inoculated subcutaneously as either a lyophilized suspension or an agar-grown culture resulted in vaccinat

6. Pathogenicity and Immunogenic Efficacy of a Live Attenuated Plague Vaccine in Vervet Monkeys
A live attenuated Yersinia pestis (Pasteurella pestis) vaccine strain designated EV51f, which had been passaged through guinea pigs previously treated with ferrous sulfate, was shown to be pathogenic for African green vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethips pygerythrus), but not for guinea pigs. The bacilli multiplied in the monkeys, as shown by positive blood

7. Membrane fusion activity of influenza virus.
A simple assay is described to monitor fusion between fowl plague virus (FPV, an avian influenza A virus) and liposomes which allows the simultaneous quantitation of both lytic and non-lytic fusion events. As in fusion between viruses and the plasma membrane and in FPV-induced cell-cell fusion, the reaction only occurs at pH 5.5 or below, and it is fast, hig

8. An ecological approach to preventing human infection: Vaccinating wild mouse reservoirs intervenes in the Lyme disease cycle
Many pathogens, such as the agents of West Nile encephalitis and plague, are maintained in nature by animal reservoirs and transmitted to humans by arthropod vectors. Efforts to reduce disease incidence usually rely on vector control or immunization of humans. Lyme disease, for which no human vaccine is currently available, is a commonly reported vector-born
