Virus infections in laboratories in Japan from 1967 to 1972 were studied. Major causative agents were influenza virus, Australian antigen, Rickettsia, and vaccinia virus. The cases reported were neither severe, nor lethal. It was suggested that these infections were caused either by aerosol or contact. Measures to prevent infection in laboratories are discussed.
