  the ultra-microscopic or filterable viruses were recognized, their study requiring still more refined techniques. With the aid of such, the youngest branch of biological science, “virology,” is now being outlined. And just as earlier with bacteriology so now with “virology” the developments are led by those interested in the applications to pathology, whether with diseases of man, lower animal or plant.
