Infection process of viruses

Peyton Rous was a pathologist that worked on the transfusion of materials from the tumour of an affected chicken to a healthy one.

He discovered that the healthy chicken developed cancer after a while due to the transfusion process.

The filterable agent was later called Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) which is an avian sarcoma virus.
