“…The infection in cattle described by Traum (1916Traum ( , 1919 may produce ulceration of the skin, subcutaneous nodules, or a form of lymphangitis with a chain of swellings along the lymphatic vessels. Although acid-fast bacilli are present in the lesions, these organisms have not been cultivated.…”

“…ulcerans lived in the dairying districts of Bairnsdale and Colac in Victoria and, in considering the epidemiology of these infections, we felt we should investigate the possibility of cattle being the source of the infection. Traum (1916Traum ( , 1919 reported the presence of unidentified acid-fast bacilli in skin lesions of cattle and it seemed possible that these organisms might be Myco. ulcerans.…”

Skin lesions with histopathology similar to that seen in lesions in man have been produced in calves by the experimental inoculation of cultures of Myco. ulcerans. Sensitization of infected calves to mammalian tuberculin as well as to ulceranin has been demonstrated.It is considered unlikely that cattle are a reservoir of infection for man.The expenses of this investigation were met by a research grant from the Board of Management, Alfred Hospital.We are indebted to Dr A. V. Jackson, Director of Pathology, Alfred Hospital, for the reports on histopathology.
