lecture by W. S. Patton in which he discusses the relation of the parasite that causes 

 the disease, to its hosts.

 sion of recent investigations. 



Sensational aspects of the bedbug peril. Cur. Lit. 53; October, 1912, pp. 420- 

 421. Refers to the papers of Manning and others showing the possibility of this 

 insect carrying disease. 



Mode of propagation of infantile paralysis: the bedbug as a spreader of disease. 

 Sci. Am. S 73, May 11, 1912. p. 229. Review of Dr. Manning's article in Medical

Typhus Fever 



Anderson, John F. The relation of so-called Brill's disease to typhus fever' 

 An experimental demonstration of their identity. Pub. Health Rep. 27, No. 5' 

 February 2, 1912; also in Hyg. Lab. Bui. No. 86, October, 1912, pp. 25-35. Con- 

 cludes that the two diseases heretofore considered as distinct are the same. 



Anderson, John F. Studies on immunity and means of transmission of typhus. 

 Hyg. Lab. Bui. 86, October, 1912, pp. 81-138. Experiments relating to the heredi- 

 tary transmission of the virus in the body louse gave negative results. A few ex- 

 periments relating to the transmission of this disease by bedbugs also gave negative 

 results. 



Anderson and Goldberger. Demonstration of the identity of the so-called 

 BriU's disease with typhus. Pub. Health Rep. February 2, 1912, p. 149, Jour. 

 Amer. Med. Assn. February 10, 1912, p. 414. 



BiRT, C. Typhus fever. Jour. Roy. Army Med. Corps. Vol. 19, No. 5, Novem- 

 ber, 1912, pp. 521-529. Summary of our present knowledge of this disease and the 

 methods of transmission. 



Goldberger, Jos. Studies on the virus of typhus. Duration of the infectivity 

 of the blood. Hyg. Lab. Bui. No. 86. October, 1912, pp. 49-80. Reprinted from 

 Pub. Health Rpts. 27, No. 22, May 31, 1912. Includes account of some experi- 

 ments with the virus of the louse. 



Goldberger, Jos. and Anderson, John F. The transmission of typhus fever, 

 with especial reference to transmission by the head louse (Pediculus capitis). Pub. 

 Health Rep. Vol. 27, No. 9, March 1, 1912, pp. 297-307. Review of our present 

 knowledge in regard to the spread of the disease and record of experiments. Con- 

 clude that the virus may be transmitted by lice. 



Goldberger, Jos. and Anderson, J. F. Some recent advances in our knowledge of 

 typhus. Jour. Amer. Med. Assn. 5, 59, No. 7, August 17, 1912. pp. 514-517. Among 

 other things they discuss the transmission of this disease by body lice and possibly 

 by head lice and show that BriU's disease is the same as typhus, thus this problem 

 is of direct interest to Americans. 

 . Hewitt, C. Gordon. Transmission of typhus fever by lice. Can. Ent. XLIV 

 4, April, 1912, p. 103. Refers to Goldberger and Anderson's paper (Pub. Health 

 Rep. March 1, 1912) in which they show that P. capitis as well as P. vestimenti 

 may carry typhus fever and points out the importance of this. 



Collected studies of typhus. Hyg. Lab. Bull. No. 86, October, 1912. A bringing 

 together of a series of papers on this disease published in 1911-12. Those pub- 

 lished in 1912 are listed above.

 pp. 2258-2260. Editorial reviewing the recent work by various investigators of 

 this subject.
