It is shown herein that infection with B. violaceousmay readily occur through various types of surface injury of the feet of animals. It is suggested, therefore, that ingress through external injury forms the usual portal of entry of B. violaceousin the natural infection. These infections are fulminating and usually fatal in a short period of time. In this connection, it appears probable that both the lymph and blood streams may form the routes of host invasion although the lymphatic pathway is emphasized. The lesions produced are similar to those found in the natural infection of carabao as well as those observed in the human infection. Although B. violaceoushas in general been regarded as innocuous, it is further stressed herein that certain strains are definitely pathogenic and present evidence of distinct virulence. Furthermore, a likely portal of entry of the natural infection is indicated. |
