Abstract
Summary The high loads were found to have the following main causes, which occured together in many work situations: 1. C. equi was isolated in eight cases from the supposedly tuberculous submaxillary lymph nodes of 86 pigs, being associated in five cases with tubercle bacilli. 2. From a series of apparently normal submaxillary lymph nodes from 50 pigs, C. equi was recovered in one instance. 3. Oral and intravenous administration of living suspensions of C. equi produced no observable lesions in swine. Subcutaneous inoculation led to local abscess formation. 4. Evidence is presented indicating that C. equi probably has no aetiological relationship to tuberculous-like lesions in the submaxillary lymph-nodes of swine.
