Snippet: The existence of infectious agents smaller than bacteria was demonstrated already near the close of the 19th century by Martinus Beijerinck. After this discovery it took more than 60 years before a resilient definition of viruses could be given and an introduction to modern virology was established. Indeed, the major challenge was to conceive living submicrospic agents exclusively defined in opposition to the bacteriological criteria (non-observable, non-cultivable,). Progresses in biochemistry,
Document: The existence of infectious agents smaller than bacteria was demonstrated already near the close of the 19th century by Martinus Beijerinck. After this discovery it took more than 60 years before a resilient definition of viruses could be given and an introduction to modern virology was established. Indeed, the major challenge was to conceive living submicrospic agents exclusively defined in opposition to the bacteriological criteria (non-observable, non-cultivable,). Progresses in biochemistry, electron microscopy, and in control of cell culture techniques have led to the conviction that the viruses were infectious agents entirely original. These last 20 years unrevealed molecular biology as a tool of choice for the discovery of new viral agents and analysis of pathologies of viral etiology.
