Spanish term or phrase: que les fueron inoculados

sufren enfermedades que les fueron inoculados

Pero no es fácil habituarse a un modesto paraíso después de tantos años de estar en el infierno. ... Muchos de los que llegan a los refugios sufren enfermedades que les fueron inoculados para experimentar en ellos el efecto de las medicinas: un grupo numeroso de los veteranos lo forman los seropositivos.

(Antonio Muñez Molina, 1956- "Nuestros semejantes")

Sorry, Now that I see the context, it should inoculate WITH, not against.

that they were inoculated with

Explanation:
My understanding is that this is about a shameful period in history when people in public institutions were inoculated with diseases to test the effect of drugs. (I'm on a very slow connection and can't search the Internet.)

que les fueron inoculadas they were given

Explanation:
Generally, animals are 'given' a disease or condition (such as cystic fibrosis, cancer, multiple sclerosis, rabies, equine herpes or avian influenza) then experiments are done to investigate:

By the way, it should be "inoculadas" in Spanish.

"(illnesses) inoculated into them"

Explanation:
Many of the chimpanzees that arrive at the camp suffer from illnesses inoculated into them for testing on them the effects of (different) drugs: a high number of the ones who have stayed there longer are HIV positive.
