Summary
The pathogenicity of preparations of the viruses of poliomyelitis, human influenza and swine influenza was not affected by exposure to intense sonic vibrations (9,000 c.p.s.) under conditions which suffice to disintegrate such bacteria as Eb. typhi and S. hemolylicus. No evidence was obtained that homogenization of virus-containing tissue exposure to intense sonic vibration resulted in increased activity of the virus content.
