H. Aragão, Marques da Cunha, Julio Muniz, Margarito Torres, J. G. Lacorte, G. G. Villela and J. C. N. Penido have just published a series of papers on yellow fever. Aragão reports on the susceptibility of Macacus rhesus, M. cynomolgus, M. speciosus and Pseudocebus agarae to yellow fever. The first three classes are sensitive both to inoculations of human blood and to the bites of infected mosquitoes. Two Pseudocebus agarae monkeys were inoculated; one, given blood from a patient who had suffered with yellow fever for seventy-two hours, did not show any reaction; the other, injected with virus from the rhesus monkey, had fever for several days, after which it was killed for examination. The viscera did not show any suggestive changes. The African virus was used in these experiments. The lesions in the infected monkeys were no different from those that occur in SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1929.02700290055023 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1929.02700290055023 ER -
