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.
