Beginning with the discovery of the first virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898, the authors investigate the reception and redefinition of his concept in medical circles and its implications for medical practice, particularly in the diagnosis and prevention of viral infections. The relatively slow progress of these areas in the first half of the twentieth century and their explosive growth in the wake of molecular techniques are examined. The surveillance and control of virus diseases in the field of public health is treated in depth, as are tumour virus research and the important Dutch contributions to technical developments instrumental in advancing virology worldwide. Particular attention is paid to oft forgotten virus research in the former Dutch colonies in the East and West Indies and Africa. 606 $aMedical virology$zNetherlands$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aMedical virology$zNetherlands$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMedical virology$zNetherlands$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aNetherlands 607 $aNetherlands$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aVirology-history, History-nineteenth century, History-twentieth century, Virology-methods, Virus diseases- diagnosis, Virus diseases-history. 615 0$aMedical virology$xHistory 615 0$aMedical virology$xHistory 615 0$aMedical virology$xHistory 676 $a616.9/101 700 $aDoornum$b Gerard van$0910610 702 $aHelvoort$b T. van 702 $aSankaran$b Neeraja 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910372736503321 996 $aLeeuwenhoek's Legatees and Beijerinck's Beneficiaries$92037980 997 $aUNINA
