Transmission 

 by bite of 

 mosquito. 



Transmission 

 by bite of 

 mosquito. 



Transmission 

 not worked 

 out but prob- 

 ably through 

 excreta. 



Transmission 

 probably me- 

 chanical but 

 not proven. 



Taken up in 

 blood by 

 mites. Infec- 

 tion by inges- 

 tion of mites 

 by rats. 



The manner of 

 transmission 

 is not deter- 

 mined. 



Transmission 

 by bite of fly. 



Transmission 

 by bite, ex- 

 perimental. 



Insects swallow 

 bacilli in feed- 

 ing on car- 

 cass es or 

 wounds and 

 deposit in 

 their feces 

 on wounds. 



Beetles ingest 

 spores and ba- 

 cilli in feeding 

 on carcasses 

 and skins. 



Passes through 

 intes tinal 

 tract intact. 

 Infection by 

 contamina- 

 tion. 



Larvse swallow 

 the eggs. Flies 

 might deposit 

 the eggs on 

 food. Insect 

 transmission 

 is not regard- 

 ed as impor- 

 tant. 



Transmitted by 

 bite of tick, 

 probably in 

 the same 

 manner as 

 cattle fever.
