title: Spontaneous change from overt to covert infection of Chlamydia pecorum in cycloheximide-treated mouse McCoy cells.
abstract: Some isolates of Chlamydia pecorum from sheep feces failed to produce inclusions on passage in cycloheximide-treated monolayers, but chlamydiae could be recovered several weeks later. Chlamydia psittaci from sheep abortions did not show this phenomenon.
