Summary[edit]
| Description |
Selected by Lauren. Picture showing intracerebral inoculation of infectious material into suckling mice (intracerebral means sticking a needle into the brain.) This was the standard way of isolating and growing viruses, particularly mosquito-carried viruses, from the late 1930s to the 1960s, when tissue cultures were developed that let it be done without using live animals. Such virological procedures would have been standard in laboratories that did viral isolations, which were few and far between in the 1950s. So this picture was probably either taken at the 406th General Medical Laboratory in Japan (the main pathology lab for the entire Far East area) where they had an ongoing research project on Japanese B encephalitis, and where they did viral isolation on routine specimens sent from military hospitals. Or it may have been taken in the laboratories set up to study Korean (or Epidemic) Hemorrhagic Fever (KHF or EHF) by the Hemorrhagic Fever Commission, which operated from 1950 to c1955 in Korea. The KHF lab also attempted viral isolation using a variety of rodents. |
