De Contagione et Contagiosis Morbis (On
infection and infectious diseases,1546)
He proposed that epidemic diseases are
caused by transferable tiny particles or
"spores" that could transmit infection by
direct or indirect contact or even without
contact over long distances.
Girolamo Fracastoro
1478-1553
Establishment of Germ Theory
A Dutch cloth merchant used new method
for grinding and polishing tiny lenses of
great curvature which gave magnifications
up to 270 diameters
First to see and describe bacteria as
animalcules,
Leeuwenhoek

Cohn and Robert Koch.

Ивановсқий
(1864-1920),
The very first virus discovered is credited
to the St. Petersburg Academy of Science
on the 12th February 1892 by Dmitri
Iwanowsky a Russian botanist. While
studying mosiac tobacco disease, he
found that the agent causing the disease
was small enough for pass though
ceramic filter that are small enough to
trap all bacteria. This is generally
accepted as the beginning of Virology.
Discovery of Viruses

1898, Dutch scientist
Martinus Beijernick
confirmed Iwanowski's
results on tobacco mosaic
virus.

He developed with the
term "contagium vivum
fluidum" which means

(1851-1931)
“soluble living germ” as
first the idea of the virus.

Diphtheria antitoxin
At that time in Germany alone 50,000 children
died from diphtheria every year.
1891 Von Behring cured first case of diphtheria
with antitoxin, thousands of life have been saved
since he developed
serum therapy

Chemotherapy for Syphilis
Before chemotherapy
introduced, mercury used
be the only cure for

itself

producing it with funds from the U.S and British governments.
They started mass production after the bombing of Pearl
Harbor. When D-day arrived they had made enough penicillin
to treat all the wounded allied forces.
Feb 12,1941, penicilline was first applied clinically

Waksman performing research in soil bacteriology in Rutgers
University
Waksman and his team discovered
several antibiotics, including actinomycin
clavacin, streptomycin, neomycin and others.
Of these streptomycin was the first
antibiotic that could be used to cure
the disease tuberculosis
(1943)
Selman Waksman
1888-1973
Dispute about discovery

The details and credit for the discovery of its use as
the antibiotic streptomycin were strongly contested
by one of Waksman's graduate students, Albert
Schatz, and resulted in litigation. The litigation ended
with a substantial settlement for Schatz and the
official decision that Waksman and Schatz would be
considered co-discoverers of streptomycin. Schatz
made the discovery while working in Waksman's
basement lab, and using Waksman's equipment
Discovery of antibiotics and the
therapeutic revolution


After the discovery of penicillin and streptomycin,
more antibiotics were isolated from the soil,
upon 1960s more than 600 antibiotics were
available in practice
Thanks of discovery and application of antibiotics
severe bacterial infection has no longer a
incurable disease and the average life expectancy
increased by 10 year leading to the therapeutic
revolution.。

People found him rude and dictatorial. Some
said that they would rather take their chance

Chadwick!

Public Health System

Public health is “the science and art of preventing disease,
prolonging life and promoting health through the
organized efforts and informed choices of society,
organizations, public and private, communities and
individuals.” (1920, C. E.A. Winslow)

The goal of public health is to improve lives through the
prevention and treatment of disease. The WHO defines
health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity."
