- ------------------------------------------ Bill Broad of the New York Times has chased down where the original "Ames" isolate came from ... a heifer that died in south Texas in May, 1981. Greg Knudsen, then at the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Disease, was looking for field isolates to challenge their vaccine and had put out a call for cultures. Howard Whitford at the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, College Station, Texas, sent him a culture of this heifer isolate with documentation in a package with an apparent postal routing from National Veterinary Services Laboratory, USDA/ARS (NVSL), Ames, Iowa. At the same time cultures were independently provided by NVSL. Thus the confusion. The article is worth reading in full. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
