MOSQUITO TRANSMISSION OF A RETICULUM CELL SARCOMA OF HAMSTERS

W G BANFIELD et al. Science. .

Abstract

A transplantable reticulum cell sarcoma with leukemic manifestations can be transmitted from one hamster to another by means of a mosquito, Aëdes aegypti (L.). The transmission seems to be by a transfer of tumor cells, and not by passage of some other oncogenic agent.
