His work on mycoplasmal and viral diseases is well known to poultry pathologists throughout the world." In addition to teaching, Dr. Levine established highly successful programs, including the Duck Research Laboratory on Long Island and several regional poultry diagnostic laboratories across New York State. He was also Editor of "The Cornell Veterinarian" and founder (1957) of the journal, "Avian Diseases."
