Laboratory Outline in Filterable Viruses [antikvár]

INTRODUCTION The two courses here outlined are given in the School of Hygiene and Public Health at The Johns Hopkins University to graduate students preparing for work in the field of preventive medicine. Each course is given in three half-day periods each week for a term of eight weeks. Admission to the beginning course implies a fundamental knowledge of general science with adequate training in bacteriology, inomunology, and pathology. The underlying theoretical knowledge for the proper setting of the laboratory work is given in a series of lectures. Part I is planned to give the student a first-hand knowledge of the nature and behavior of a number of representative viruses, while Part II aims to give a more comprehensive experience with the pathology of a selected group of virus diseases ranging from necrosis to hyperplasia. Our idea is to make the courses serve as an introduction to research in the virus field. They are planned to give not only the accumulated body of fact concerning the viruses, but also to acquaint the student with the technique by which this knowledge has been obtained to the end that he may formulate his own problems and the procedures to be employed in their solution. Division of the subject matter into exercises has been made with both the nature of the material and the laboratory period in mind. This has not been strictly adhered to since certain materials in a given exercise must be prepared in advance. The instructor will plan for this. The exercises have been briefly stated with the idea
