Inoculating chicken eggs
Inoculating chicken eggs. Medical researchers working on treatment for bird viruses. At left, one researcher is marking the eggs, while at right, the other researcher is inoculating the eggs with a virus-containing substance. These are chicken eggs. This process allows the researchers to assess the susceptibility of domestic poultry to different strains of viruses. It also allows them to develop vaccines to prevent infection by viruses such as the avian influenza virus. This work is being carried out at the All-Russia Avicultural Research Institute in St Petersburg, Russia. Photographed on 28 February 2006

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dedicated efforts of medical researchers at the All-Russia Avicultural Research Institute in St Petersburg, Russia. In their quest to combat bird viruses, two scientists are shown engrossed in the meticulous process of inoculating chicken eggs. The researcher on the left is carefully marking each egg, while her colleague on the right administers a virus-containing substance into them. These chicken eggs serve as invaluable tools for assessing the vulnerability of domestic poultry to various strains of viruses. Furthermore, they enable these diligent researchers to develop effective vaccines that can prevent infections caused by notorious avian influenza viruses and other similar pathogens. The image showcases a moment frozen in time from February 28th, 2006 - an era where scientific advancements were already shaping our understanding of virology and veterinary medicine. Clad in protective masks and working within a pristine laboratory environment, these skilled individuals epitomize dedication and expertise. Their work holds immense significance not only for poultry health but also for safeguarding public health against potential viral outbreaks. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards advancing scientific knowledge and protecting lives from infectious diseases. Captured by Science Photo Library's lens, this powerful image encapsulates both the critical nature of research being conducted at that specific moment in history and highlights how collaboration between scientists across Europe is essential when confronting global challenges such as bird flu or any other viral threats we face today.
