ABSTRACT
Experimental listeriosis in phenotypically normal (nu/+) euthymic NMRI mice has a characteristic morphology and short-term course. In contrast, listeric infection in congenitally dysthymic nude (nu/nu) mice does not proceed in clear-cut phases, develops more slowly, displays a chronic tendency from the beginning, and shows a considerably different morphology. The inability of nude mice to effectively control and terminate infection by Listeria monocytogenes obviously results from the lack of T lymphocytes.
