Work Begun On
Virus Diseases

Scientists of the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture recently began
research on vascular (blister
(blister fOrming) diseases of live
stock at the Plum Island Animal
Disease Laboratory near Long Is
land. New York.
Facilities already on the 800-acre
island allowed intensive studies of
these diseases to begin almost two
years ahead of schedule. Initial
work is centered on the virus caus-
ing vascular stomatitis, similar to
foOt-and-mOuth disease in many
ways. Research on fOOt-and-mouth
disease itself will soon begin, also.
The scientists are working to-
ward a number of detectives. in
Guiding improvement in diagnOstic
methods, finding out how the vir-
uses are passed from one animal
to another, development of more eff
fective vaccines, and such funda-
mentals as the chemical and phys
ical properties Of the viruses.
The laboratory that's now in use
limits studies to one phase of a
disease at time Completion of
the main laboratory in about Is
months will permit fOurfoId ex-
pansiOn of the present program.
Located on an island across 90
miles of water, the laboratory is
one Of the most isolated and Sc
cure installations in the world.
