Abstract
THE value of the developing egg in the study of many viruses is now well established, and the chicken embryo method of passage has proved of great use in propagating these viruses, which, as a rule, can only be grown in tissue culture, and not in the ordinary bacteriological culturemedia. Many members of the spirochætal class of organism can only be grown, with great difficulty, in special media, and it was therefore decided to attempt the growth of a spirochæte in the developing chicken embryo.
