Transmission of the Lactic Dehydrogenase Agent in Normal and Partially Edentulous Mice

Abstract

IN our laboratory the transmission rate of the lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) agent from infected to uninfected adult CAF–1 male mice housed together for more than a month was very low1,2. Other laboratories, however, have reported high3 or variable4 rates of transmission. The work recorded here was undertaken to investigate the factors which might be responsible for these differences.
