Abstract
LITTLE has been reported about specific virus infections of the female genital tract. Most text-books on gynaecology make sparse or no reference to virus infections of the tract except for lymphogranuloma venereum in human beings. As part of an investigation of the role of ‘ordinary’ viruses in neoplasia of the cervical tract, an attempt was made to develop an experimental model which would enable the interrelationships of viruses and carcinogens to be studied. Herpes simplex virus was selected for initial investigation because of the relatively frequent occurrence of vesicles in the tract of women and because of the latency aspect of its pathogenesis.
