BACTERIOLOGY CONFERENCE
Importance Of Subject During World War I it was found that bacteriology was of tremendous importance, said Dr. L. C. L. Averill, in his speech of welcome to the delegates at the annual conference of the New Zealand Association of Bacteriologists yesterday. Deaths from disease among the troops were cut down to manageable proportions through the use of bacteriology, he said. During World War II pathology and bacteriology were integrated more and more into the work in the front line. In World War II there was also the growth in the use of blood transfusions, be said. The wars had shown the need for bacteriologists and pathologists. There is still a tremendous need for the Association of Bacteriologists and for the members of the association to keep in touch with all the development that take place in medical science, said Dr. Averill. The last 10 years have produced developments that have outweighed anything that has gone before, he said.
