title: [Evaluation of 30-year-activity of the Virology Laboratory of the Pasteur Institute in Madagascar (1958-1987)].
abstract: The authors studied the different activities of Pasteur Institute virology laboratory since it was created. In general virology laboratory, 1.685 viral strains were isolated from 9.533 studied samples (17.6% of positivity). Enterovirus represented 90% of the viral strains. From 2.417 taking of rhino-pharynx, 133 myxovirus were isolated: A/H3N2 represented 76% of them. 10.776 patients, from 36.169 antirabic department consultants, were vaccinated and 600 had an antirabic serotherapy. 2.828 suspect samples were analysed for the rabies diagnostic: 1.438 were positive (51%).
