Abstract
The authors examined by a uniform technic the sensitivity of 25 viruses to ethyl ether. Evidence of the sensitivity of 10 other viruses is available from the literature. Viruses seem to be either very sensitive or highly resistant. Of the viruses pathogenic to animals, most of the resistant ones are either in the pox group or among the very small viruses. The results may prove of use to workers who at times need to separate one virus from mixture with others or with bacteria. The findings may also be of value in any attempt at virus classification.Keywords
