The egg comes first” in microbiology. STUDENTS MAJORING IN MICROBIOLOGY Dr. James E. Froeschle, Dr. Suchinda Udomsadki. HE Microbiology family has functioned as a team not only in teaching, but also in collaborating with investigations of mutual interest in other parts of the world. Special interests of the Department of Microbiology have included rickettsial and viral diseases, properties of human cells in tissue culture, problems of immunology and biologic aspects of host-parasite relationships. In Yugoslavia there is continued interest in the immunization of man against certain rickettsial diseases. Since 1954 trachoma research has been carried on by the joint efforts of the Department of Microbiology and the Arabian-American Oil Company. All of the school faculty members concerned in the trachoma project have devoted time to field and laboratory investigations in Saudi Arabia. One of the products of this cooperative endeavor has been the finding of a strain of trachoma virus which is toxic to small laboratory animals. This may facilitate finding whether trachoma viruses from different regions are similar, i nforma¬ tion which is important in progress toward the development of an efficient vaccine. Previously the only way to study immunity in trachoma was to experiment on human beings or apes. 21
