Volume: 74
Issue: 4
Pages: 533-538
The essays in this special issue draw on a bank of diverse primary and secondary sources in different languages, to offer novel perspectives on the different directions that research on or with bacteriophages—bacterial viruses—has evolved over the century since they were first discovered. Looking beyond the established historical accounts of the discovery of the bacteriophages and their role as a tool in founding molecular biology, although these milestones are not ignored, papers in this volume offer insights into other investigative threads and figures that were either previously unknown or under-represented in history. Taken together they show that the bacteriophages have had a far richer and more diverse life in both scientific laboratories and written works than hitherto realized, and that more is yet to come.
