Rocky Mountain Laboratory

After its successful work with spotted fever the Rocky Mountain Laboratory expanded its facilities and programs in the 1940s and 1930s to work on other insect-borne diseases, such as yellow fever and the spirochetal relapsing fevers. In 1979, the Laboratory was reorganized and its name made plural -- the Rocky Mountain Laboratories -- because it now consisted of three laboratories: the Laboratory of Microbial Structure and Function, the Laboratory of Persistent Viral Diseases, and the Laboratory of Pathobiology.

c. 1951
