Russell L. Cecil and Robert F. Loeb in the tenth edition of their Texbook of medicine commented that Davaine "showed that anthrax is caused by a living organism that multiplies in the body, invades the blood stream and produces death by septicemia. He found the same organism in the malignant pustle, establishing the etiology of the disease in man and animals. Final proof of the causative role of Bacillus anthracis was furnished when R. Koch (1877) described the formation of spores, cultivation of the organism in vitro, reproduction of the disease by injection of pure cultures and recovery of the bacillus at autopsy. The study of anthrax established for the first time the specific relationship of microbe to an infections disease". (Heirs of Hippocrates) ---- GARRISON N° 5165 (Recherches sur les infusoires du sang dans la maladie connue sous le nom de sang de rate reproduit dans ce volume) : "Davaine showed that anthrax could be transmitted to sheep, horses, cattle, guinea-pigs, and mice, and that in such animals the bacilli did not appear in the blood until 4-5 hours before death" ---- GARRISON N° 5166 (Recherches sur la nature et la constitution anatomique de la pustule maligne reproduit dans ce volume) : "Davaine was the first conclusively to prove that a definite disease (anthrax) was due to a definite micro-organism (B. anthracts) and was thus one of the first to prove the germ theory of disease. He showed that the virulence of anthrax was in proportion to the number of bacteria present" ---- DSB III - Bulloch History of bacteriology p. 361**1564/B5DE. Seller Inventory # son6649
