Abstract
THE Foot-and-Mouth Disease Research Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries was first appointed in 1924, and although it has not succeeded in discovering any method of prevention, and the policy of slaughtering all infected and contact animals still continues, it has found out a good deal about the virus and its reaction with the body. The present, fifth, progress report covers the work done in the last five years, mainly at the experimental station at Pirbright and also at the Lister Institute, and the National Institute of Medical Research at Hampstead.
