Dr Adorj\u00e1n Bartha was one of our most innovative veterinary researchers. He became world famous for his Aujeszky\u2019s disease vaccine which he developed from the virus strain named after him. He was Hungary\u2019s most successful practical virologist. In 1957 he introduced cell cultures into virology. Applying his virological and serological methods, he discovered new virus strains, identified diseases and developed vaccines.<\/p>
A truly innovative and forward-looking researcher, most of his earlier observations were validated by DNA technology adopted decades later. His work was characterized by high efficiency. As early as in 1961, he announced the development of K\/61; a new vaccine strain against Aujeszky\u2019s disease. He was the first in the world to isolate thus far unidentified adenovirus serotypes in calves with pneumonia and enteritis, and made a combined inactivated vaccine against them. He also developed vaccines against various infectious diseases, such as Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis, adenovirus-induced egg drop syndrome (EDS) in chickens as well as canine parvovirus disease. He made his discoveries and achieved his successes with enviable ease.<\/p>
