Scientists Photograph Virus SCIENTISTS AT THE Plum Island Animal Disease abora tory ol the U S Department of Agriculture report that they have purified, isolated, and photographed the foot-and mouth disease virus. Their first electron micrographs of the virus reveal that it is spherical in shape and about one millionth of an inch in diameter This is the smallest of any of the viruses affecting animals—even smaller than polio virus These new findings about the physical makeup of foot-and-mouth disease virus are expected to speed re search on the development of new and effective means of combatting the disease, which has great economic import ance to livestock production throughout most of the world.
