“…van der Eb. During his inaugural address in 1968, he predicted optimistically that the synthesis of viruses would occur within two years (Jansz, 1968;Van der Vliet, 2005). However, this did not occur until 2002, one year before he passed away.…”

“…In the nineteenth century, the death rate attributed to measles was about 72-84 per 100,000 inhabitants, higher than the death rate due to smallpox and scarlet fever (Ballot, 1871). In the second half of the twentieth century, the mean death rate remained high at 1.6 per 10,000 cases ( Van der Zwan et al, 1994). For the advisory committee of the Health Council, it was clear that the measles vaccine should be offered to all children in their first year of life and that a live vaccine should be used.…”

Leeuwenhoek’s Legatees and Beijerinck’s Beneficiaries: A History of Medical Virology in The Netherlands offers a tour of the history of Dutch medical virology. Beginning with the discovery of the first virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898, the authors investigate the reception and redefinition of his concept in medical circles and its implications for medical practice. The relatively slow progress of these areas in the first half of the twentieth century and their explosive growth in the wake of molecular techniques are examined. The surveillance and control of virus diseases in the field of public health is treated in depth, as are tumour virus research and the important Dutch contributions to technical developments instrumental in advancing virology worldwide. Particular attention is paid to oft forgotten virus research in the former Dutch colonies in the East and West Indies and Africa.

“…Jansz is an example of the importance of pioneering work on nucleic acids for the field of tumour virology. Jansz, who was trained as a chemist at the Free University of Amsterdam, was appointed professor in physiological chemistry in 1967 in Utrecht, where he introduced molecular biology and DNA research ( Van der Vliet, 2005). Jansz became interested in DNA research in the USA following contact with A. Kornberg, discoverer of the DNA polymerase.…”
