Virus and Rickettsial Diseases, with Especial Consideration of Their Public Health Significance

A Symposium held at the Harvard School of Public Health, June 12-June 17, 1939. Pp. I–VII, 1–907. Harvard University Press, 1940, Cambridge, Mass.

This volume should be on the "must" list of physicians, public health officers and medical scientists not engaged in technical study of viruses. For the latter, it is a desirable addition, although its emphasis is on the public health, preventive and clinical phases of the subjects presented. Its articles do not pretend to give the technical minutiae of the research and biologic field of viruses. In his introduction, Hans Zinsser says, "The literature has grown so rapidly that, outside of a few early treatises, such as the excellent one of Rivers, and the extensive works of reference now beginning to appear, there are few sources where the student of medicine or of public health can obtain a simple and adequate survey of the present state of virus knowledge."
