Abstract
Culex and Aedes mosquitoes were permitted to feed on the comb of chickens infected with fowl-pox, and after intervals of from 30 min. to 2 weeks were allowed to feed on the comb and wattles of normal chickens. Lesions of fowl-pox developed at the points where these mosquitoes fed. Mosquitoes were placed in a cage with 1 infected and 2 normal chickens. One of the normal chickens developed fowl-pox; the other was subsequently shown to be immune.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
