Abstract
Conclusions
1. The giant hamster (Cricetulus triton), a vole (Microtus sp.) and the Chinese house mouse (Mus wagneri) are markedly susceptible to infection with Leishmania donovani. These showed no tendency toward spontaneous recovery during the periods covered by the present studies.
2. The house rat (Mus ruttus) white rat (Mus novegicus (vel decunzanus) albinus) and white mouse (Mus musculus albinus) show infections of only moderate intensity and seem to exhibit a tendency to recover spontaneously. However none of the series was long enough to show undoubted and complete recovery.
