David J. Sencer CDC Museum

CDC Stacks Public Health Publications

The David J. Sencer CDC Museum (CDCM), a Smithsonian Affiliate, is CDC's face to the public, allowing the general public to enter into an engaging experience that illustrates the wealth of CDC's contributions to public health. The CDCM also provides the opportunity to capture and preserve CDC's history, which is largely the history of public health over the past 65 years, fulfilling a unique demand among the many students, visitors, scholars, and researchers who contact CDCM for an understanding of CDC and the role of public health. The CDCM hosts more than 70,000 visitors each year, and more than 350 tours are provided by CDC docents and Museum staff. The CDCM provides educational programs for students and teachers, as well as permanent, temporary, and traveling exhibits that are visitor-centered, science-based, and provide high-impact communication messages. This online collection provides access to select CDCM exhibits for those who may not be able to travel to CDCM in person. For more information, visit https://www.cdc.gov/museum/index.htm.

    The use of the complement fixation reaction in the diagnosis of disease was first introduced by Bordet and Gengou in 1901.

    Serologic titers in rickettsial infection as affected by a course of antibiotics
    Schubert, Joseph H.
    November 1951 | CDC Bulletin
    The question of what effect antibiotics have upon the Weil-Feiix and complement fixation titers in rickettsial infections has concerned laboratory workers for some time. Although numerous studies have been made on the subject, the data as a rule have been reported as parts of other studies. Such information was compiled and is presented here.

    Lindsay, Dale R.
    November 1951 | CDC Bulletin
    The chronicle of house fly (Muscadom estica Linn.) resistance to or tolerance for insecticides has passed the point of recounting as an interesting phenomenon and now is depressing to read. Since first documented by Wiesmann (1) and Sacca (2) in 1947, reports of this resistance have increased alarmingly. Many of these reports serve both as obituari ...

    Garretson, Mary L.
    November 1951 | CDC Bulletin
    Prior to January 1948, evaluation of field training of public health workers consisted principally of observation by staff personnel of T raining Services, CDC, and suggestions of trainees and health officials. At that time the need for a more objective approach to supplement these judgments was felt and a program was inaugurated to develop and coo ...

    Although the U. S.

Of the 15 know n-infected Western States, have conducted their own surveys at one time or anot ...
