[49] [56] But, Pasteur discovered Pébrine and flacherie were separate diseases. Pasteur claimed bacteria within the silkworms' intestinal track caused flacherie. He then used a microscope to sort which eggs were infected and which were not. This was an effective way of discarding the diseased eggs so these worms would not enter the population.
Bacteria could be seen under microscope, and cultured on agar plates. In 1890, Louis Pasteur declared "tout virus est un microbe": "all infectious diseases are caused by microbes". In 1892, Dmitri Ivanovsky discovered that the cause of tobacco mosaic disease could pass through Chamberland's porcelain filter. Infected sap, passed through the ...
Amid anthrax vaccine's success, Pasteur introduced rabies vaccine (1885), the first human vaccine since Jenner's smallpox vaccine (1796). On 6 July 1885, the vaccine was tested on 9-year old Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog but failed to develop rabies, and Pasteur was called a hero.

A representation by Robert Seymour of the cholera epidemic depicts the spread of the disease in the form of poisonous air.. The miasma theory was the predominant theory of disease transmission before the germ theory took hold towards the end of the 19th century; it is no longer accepted as a correct explanation for disease by the scientific community.
In Pasteur's day, and for many years after his death, the word "virus" was used to describe any cause of infectious disease. Many bacteriologists soon discovered the cause of numerous infections. However, some infections remained, many of them horrendous, for which no bacterial cause could be found.
A man in France continues to puzzle scientists nearly a decade after he was found to be living with just 10 percent of a typical human brain. His case was originally published in The Lancet ...
