Abstract
Pneumocystis carinii-free SCID mice were housed closely exposed to corticosteroid-treated non-SCID mice in a conventional area of our laboratory animal facilities. A one-day exposure was sufficient for P. carinii transmission. The lung infection increased thereafter. Irradiation or splenectomy of SCID mice at the beginning of the exposure resulted in a marked increase of parasite multiplication. Extrapulmonary foci of pneumocystosis were detected in heart and spleen of SCID mice infected by P. carinii via air transmission.
