The coöperation of the latter has taken the form chiefly of conducting epidemiologic and ecologic studies in the field, of carrying out laboratory investigations on the virus, and of the manufacture, in annually...Bibliography36 RICKETTS HT: A summary of investigations of the nature and means of transmission of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Trans.
