“…Similar stages in the growth of the related organisms of the psittacosis-lymphogranuloma group were first described for psittacosis virus by Bedson, and his coworkers (Bedson, 1933;Bedson & Bland, 1932,1934Bland & Canti, 1935) and their reports have been amply confirmed by other authors. It was generally believed that the virus remained at least partially infective throughout the growth cycle; though Girardi, Allen & Sigel (1952) concluded that psittacosis virus underwent a noninfective phase.…”

“…Bedson, Western & Levy-Simpson , 1930;Findlay, Mackenzie & MacCallum, 1938;Bedson & Gostling, 1954) showed these agents to be obligate intracellular parasites with a complex growth cycle. This involved the development of cytoplasmic inclusions containing relatively large particles (c. 1 p) termed initial bodies, which appeared to multiply by binary fission and give rise to a population of smaller infective particles (c. 0-3 p) termed elementary bodies.…”

“…The widespread outbreak of psittacosis in man in 1929-30 led to renewed interest in the disease which quickly resulted in the discovery of the facts that the causative agent is not Nocard's bacillus but a filterable virus (1) and that the incidence of laboratory infections is high. Because of these facts it became imperative that further work on the nature of the etiological agent and the mode of spread of the infection be undertaken.…”
