title: Hepatitis A in marmosets.
abstract: Transmission of hepatitis agents was attempted in marmosets. The Barker hepatitis agent could be serially propagated with difficulty while the Berlin agent consistently induced a striking biochemical and morphological hepatitis in the inoculated animals. Direct inoculation of marmosets with human hepatitis sera produced irregular enzyme changes, but these could not be transmitted in serial passage.
