Abstract

Summary

1. Guinea pigs actively immunized against the Boston strain of L. icterohaemorrhagiae are immune against Type A of the Akiyami strain of leptospira.
2. Guinea pigs actively immunized against Type A of the Akiyami strain of leptospira are immune against the Boston strain of L. icterohaemorrhagiae.
3. These two strains are indistinguishable by the cross immunity tests.
