GLANDERS IN SWINE.
The healthy, vigorous pig is practically immune. Experimental inoculations have uniformly failed to produce the disease. Exception must be made when inoculation is made into the aqueous humor, in which there is comparatively little resistance by leucocytes. Sacharoff succeeded in giving the disease in a fatal form to a young pig in this way. To weak and debilitated pigs, on the other hand, the disease may be conveyed as shown by Spinola, and Cadeac and Malet. The symptoms were engorgement of the tissues in the seat of inoculation with the formation of glanderous nodules, which undergo molecular degeneration and ulceration; swelling of the lymph vessels extending from the infected point, and of the adjacent lymph glands; the formation of glander nodules in the lungs, liver and spleen, and of nodules and ulcers on the nasal mucosa.
