IN FEVER TESTS Enpedites Research Work in' South Alrica New York, April 6.—M—Man's | study of yellow fever, the myslrrl-] ous tropical disease that once took | heavy toll in the western hemis- | phere, has been expedited by me“ achievements of a little band of | acientists now work in west | Africa, The yellow fever commission of the International Health Boar!, Rockefeller Foundation, has foun: an Asiatic monkey, simliar to the | familiar compa n of the organ grinder, that is susceptible to the disease. Working with this prim the commission has already m scveral important coutributions t knowledge of the fever. The experts have been able transmit the virus consi the monkey, known Rhesus, both by inoc by the' primary infective agent, tl mosquito.

It has failed to identify the | organism. This opens the question | of whether the yellow fever found in west Africa—the only place on | the globe where the dise s epi- | demic—is the same as the type once ravage tropical Ameri reaching the United States in 1578 |, and 1897. | Dr. Hideyo Noguchi of Rockefel- ler Institute, now with the com- mission’s workers in Nigeria and the Gold coast, believed several | years ago that he had isolated the | organism. But the failure of the | present rescarch to identify the| leptospira, or germ, suggests cither that Dr. Noguchi was not succe ful or that a different variety the fever exists in West Africa. To aid in solving the puzzle, the | foundation is gending to the com- | mission scrum from persons who | survived the severe epidemic that | swept the southern TUnited States in 1897. Samples have already been taken in Memphis, Tenn. Tf th serym from the bloed of these re- covered patients protects little Macacus Rhesus against the Afri-| can virus, then the two types of the disease arc identical or closel related. Medical science finds itself fn an unusual position with respect to vellow fever. Knowing that the dis- case was transmitted only by the moaquito, thc experts have been | able to eradicate the malady in the western world by strenuous clean- up campaigns such as were waged by Dr. W. C. Gorgas in Havana and the Canal Zone. By stamping out the fever, however, they also re- moved the source of the virus and of a convalescent serum, and found o | | themselves without clinical material. | oo, Serum from recovercd patients is the only material that has been avaflable for rescarch in yellow | fever among humans. Many authorities believe that the Rockefeller Foundation's fight fs now being waged in the original home of yellow fever, contending that the disease was carrfed w ward by the slave ships. In t.
