Abstract

1. The abscesses in the viscera, especially the spleen, and in the peripheral lymphatic glands, some of which contain living plague bacilli, which have been previously described as “chronic plague in rats” are shown to be plague lesions in the process of healing. The name “resolving plague” is more appropriate.2. These lesions are found most frequently towards the close of, and immediately after, the acute plague epidemic.3. They have been found frequently in rats in Belgaum and Poona, and a re-examination of Bombay rats shows that they also occur there. We had previously only found them in the Punjab villages.
