| Abstract: | Neonatal thymectomy and neonatal thymectomy plus ATS resulted in a merked increase in susceptibility of both Buffalo and Lewis rats to infection with M. leprae. In Buffalo rats, increase in susceptibility was limited to footpad infection. In Lewis rats, this was extended to include testis infection where the organisms in thymectomized-ATS-treated rats were found to be still in the logarithmic phase of growth 15 months after inoculation.(AU).
