condition, weakness, lack of endurance. Diagnosis: inoculation of male Guinea-pig in flank or peritoneum,—ulcer and orchitis, cat, dog, old soliped; mallein test,—swelling, involving lymphatics, fever, 1.5° to 2.5 F. and upward above normal, at 10th to 18th hour, lasting two days. Lesions: cell proliferation in nests in fibrous stroma, pea upward, central degeneration, fatty debris, ulcer or abscess, hyperplasia of lymph vessels, on nasal mucosa like sand-grains, peas, patches, centre grayish or yellowish, blood extravasation, necrotic degeneration, ulcer with ragged edges; fibroid degeneration—cicatricial lesion; lesions in guttural pouch or tube, larynx, trachea, bronchia; lungs—peribronchial, lobular or interlobular inflammation, cell proliferation in foci, degeneration—nodules—and caseation; skin,—cell proliferation, degeneration, rupture, fibroid hyperplasia of lymphatics, exudates in connective tissue; dependent lymph glands congested, hypertrophied, cell proliferation, caseation; lesions in pharynx, spleen, kidney, heart, brain, testicle, scrotum, mammæ, vagina, uterus, joints, bones; bone fragility. Glanders in swine, sheep, goat, rodent, dog, cat. _Synonyms._ Malleus, Equinia, Farcy. _Definition._ An acute infectious disease caused by the bacillus mallei, which tends to localize itself in the lymphatic glands and plexuses, especially of the nose and upper air passages but also in other parts of the body, where it produces a progressive hyperplasia, with a strong tendency to degeneration, necrosis, and liquefaction. It occurs casually in horses, asses, mules and other solipeds, and is communicable to man and all domestic animals except the bovine races, chickens, and, under ordinary circumstances, swine.
