The African white-tailed rat (Mystromys albicaudatus) developed rampant dental caries when challenge was made with a combination of diet 2000 and a streptococcus of human origin (KI-R). The apparent lack of caries in certain species may result from the absence of a microbial and dietary challenge, rather than inherent resistance to the disease.
