Additional isolations of this agent in 1948 and its identification as a virus have been reported by Dalldorf and his associates.2Similar viruses isolated from patients with illnesses resembling nonparalytic poliomyelitis, from another patient with an illness resembling epidemic pleurodynia, from specimens of sewage and from flies, have been under study in this laboratory since September, 1948.3, 4These agents have been designated as...Bibliography1.
