Abstract:
The injection of one or several Treponema pallidum into the testicles of rabbits does not induce syphilitic infection. A negative tissue transfer experiment does not preclude the presence of Treponema pallidum in the inoculum nor does it indicate the absence of syphilis in the source animal.
