ABSTRACT
A survey of inbred mouse strains showed that strain C3H/he was the most comparable to man in respect of its susceptibility to Leishmania major and the subsequent healing of lesions produced by this organism. L. arabica proved to have a lower virulence than L. major and prior inoculation with the former resulted in a decrease of the lesion sizes following subsequent L. major challenge. Moreover, L. major lesions that did develop in mice previously inoculated with L. arabica generally healed faster.
