Year: 1961
Type: article
Abstract: It is a special pleasure for me to contribute something, even something so meager as the present communication, to the number of the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine issued in honor of John R. Paul.It is 30 years since we first met and began, each in his own way, to study certain aspects of poliomyelitis.Together we have passed through an exciting era in the development of knowledge of this disease.The studies of John Paul and his associates greatly contributed to our understanding of the nature of poliomyelitis and to the ultimate goal of its elimination as a cause of human misery.The subject of the present communication has also been of interest to Dr. Paul, who drew attention to the increasing occurrence of epidemics of poliomyelitis in South America in his article concerned with endemic and epidemic trends of poliomyelitis in Central and South America.'
