Abstract
MR. J.B. POLDING has been awarded a Wellcome veterinary research fellowship by the Veterinary Educational Trust, to undertake work upon the metabolism of Brucella abortus, the causal organism of bovine contagious abortion. Mr. Polding, who has previously carried out investigations in Malta and in India on undulant fever in man and on bovine abortion, will work in the Biochemistry Laboratories at Oxford under the supervision of Prof. R. A. Peters and Dr. D. D. Woods. The award of this fellowship brings the total of research awards made by the Trust to nine. The problems being investigated include a study of structure and function in domestic animals, worm infestations of equines, staphylococcal infections of animals, blowfly problems of the sheep, contagious bovine abortion, resistance of animals to parasitic infestation, and equine infertility. It is hoped shortly to make a further appointment for work upon animal nutrition.
