ference along with 50 outstanding
students from throughout the country-
The students spent the week at

Lysteria Organism Studied:
Animal Pathology Department
Conducts Research Program
By WILL SCHUTZ
Ag Editor
Bacteria aren't usually associat
ed with brains, but research work
ers in the Animal Pathology De-
partment of the Ag College have
discovered that this is sometimes
the case.
For the past seven years ex
periments have been carried on
with an elusive animal disease cal
led listeriosis. The symptoms ex
hibited by sheep, cattle, and goats
with listeriosis are in general
caused by lesions in the brain
stein. Just how the organism man
ages to gain entry to the brain
is one of the phases of the lab
study.
A unique characteristic of the
disease is the fact that the lyster
ia organism must occur in con
junction with a virus to produce
an infection. When the organism
alone was sprayed into the nose
! of a test animal nothing happened
I However, when a virus was added
to the test, lysteriosis occurred.

! A virus has already been isolated
that associates well with the or
ganism, but the search is contin
uing for other viruses that can
combine with lysteria to produce
the brain disease.
Lysteriosis is not limited to ani
mals alone, but can also occur in
man as well. It is usually en
countered as Listeria meningitis
in adults a disease that is
often fatal.
The first description of listeriosis
was reported in 1926 when the in
fection was observed in a stock
colony of rabbits and guinea pigs
at a laboratory in England. Since
that time, infections of man and
animals have been reported from
all over the world. This has led
to the conclusion that almost any
type of animal may be expected
to harbor the organism.
A peculiarity of the disease in
the ' United States, especially in
sheep, goats and cattle, is its ,
tendency to occur from December :
to June. One of the purposes of the 1
t lab experiment is to determine
j the significance of this peculiari
ty.
In the lab, sheep are being used j
as the chief test animals. The dis- j
ease organisms may be injected I
directly into the brain, into the !
artery leading to the brain, or i
sprayed into the nose.
"We feel that the experiment is
important because lysteriosis is .
