THE COURSE OF ACUTE INTESTINAL INFECTIONS IN MONKEYS DURING THE ACTION OF IONISING RADIATION (in Russian)
The influence of sublethal x irradiation on the susceptibility of monkeys to acute intestinal infections (paratyphoid B fever, Heidelberg's salmonellosis and colienteritis) was studied. Experiments were carried out on 46 macaque monkeys, aged 2 1/2 to 3 yr. In monkeys subjected to a dose of 300 r there was an elevated susceptibility to paratyphoid B fever; however, the infectious process was not aggravated. Irradiation of animals with a similar dose aggravated the infectious process in Heidelberg's salmonellosis. In monkeys with colienteritis the above dose did not influence the natural immunity of animals to this disease. A clinically marked disease (colienteritis), with a lethal outcome was induced in monkeys irradiated with a dose of 445 r. (auth)
