Anthrax In The 19th Century
Lastly, because of the theories and invention that were developed, it created many discoveries in diseases that were going around in the later nineteenth century. The first vaccine for anthrax was discovered by Louis Pasteur in 1881. Anthrax is a disease caused by bacteria the primarily affect livestock and can occasionally spread to humans, which can affect the skin, intestines, and lungs. Workers would get the disease from bacterial spores on hides, wool, and fabric fibers. Anthrax was mostly found in agricultural areas like Central and South America, Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Anthrax was rarely found in the United States; however, if it ever was found, it would be in places like Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and South Dakota. Research showed that microorganisms caused both fermentation and disease. This supported the germ theory of disease. Also, this leads him to the vaccine for cholera. He continued his study of fermentation. He invented and patented to fight the “disease” of wine. He found that the unwanted microorganisms in wine can be destroyed by heat. A year later, Louis Pasteur found a vaccine for rabies in 1882. Rabies is an acute viral disease of

Also, we are able to live long, healthy lives. It is because of people like Joseph Lister, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, and Louis Pasteur that paved the way for others to expand the growth and development of medicine. Because of them, the most deadly diseases in that time can now be cured with a simple shot. All of the inventions, theories, and new medicines are now even advanced due to technology. We have come a long way since the nineteenth century, and it is important to highlight those who made the job of today’s health professionals easier. It is because of them that we survive longer and are able to continue to do more research for future
