Many varieties of this disease have been described, but all are forms of “pyogenic” or “septic stomatitis.”

It is due to infection with pyogenic bacteria, which usually gain access to the gland by the blood stream, as, for example, in typhoid fever, pyæmia, influenza, and other acute infective diseases.

Abscess formation from infection with ordinary pyogenic bacteria occurs naturally in the rabbit, and frequently the animal house of a laboratory is decimated by an infective septicæmia due to B. cuniculicida.

It is essentially a disease of the poorly cared-for and ill-fed; the direct exciting cause is the introduction of pyogenic microörganisms into the follicular openings.

There is also the presence of a pyogenic bacterium, by which the disease may be maintained and propagated.
