Loeffler Frog Medal
The Loeffler Frosch Medal is an award given annually by the Society for Virology (GfV) since 2006 to scientists who have made particular contributions to virology in German-speaking countries. It is considered an award for scientific life's work. The award ceremony takes place during the annual GfV spring meeting and is linked to the Loeffler Frosch Lecture held by the award winner. The prize is named after Friedrich Loeffler and Paul Frosch , who first described an animal virus in 1898.
