⩥ Leprosy in the Bible.
Answer: practice of quarantining people with leprosy suggesting that
people understood that dz's could be communicable.
Leprosy is communicable, it is also a dz that progresses slowly meaning
that people were likely quarantined after they had already spread the dz
to others.
⩥ Roman Sewage System.
Answer: Built aqueducts which brought fresh water into the city, and a
giant sewer "Cloaca Maxima" which carried waste away into the river
Tiber.
Researchers believe that this infrastructure helped protect Romans from
epidemics of waterborne illnesses.
⩥ Hippocrates (460-377 BC).
Answer: "FATHER OF WESTERN MEDICINE"
Dz is not caused by the supernatural.
,Hippocratic Corpus & Oath (To be a healer #1 job is to take care of that
patient w/o harming them)
⩥ Thucydides (460-395 BC).
Answer: FATHER OF SCIENTIFIC HISTORY (To keep records of),
advocated for evidence-based analysis of cause and effect reasoning,
studied Athenian plague and discovered immunity
Immunity: People who sick and didn't die did not get sick again.
⩥ Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 BC).
Answer: Proposed that disease could be caused by "certain minute
animals/creatures... which cannot be seen by the eye."
*He was roman*
⩥ Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723).
Answer: "FATHER OF MICROBIOLOGY"
Dutch cloth merchant, was the first to develop a lens powerful enough to
view microbes. Observed single-celled organisms "animalcules" from
rain water.
⩥ Louis Pasteur (1822-1895).
,Answer: Fermentation, pasteurization (to be able to last longer), and
spoilage by microbes.
Vaccines e.g. Rabies
⩥ Robert Koch (1843-1910).
Answer: Established method for connecting pathogen with specific dz;
Koch's postulates.
helped discover: anthrax, cholera, tuberculosis
⩥ Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) *Taxonomy.
Answer: Developed a new way to categorize plants and animals.
Systema Naturae, KPCOFGS
⩥ Ernst Haekel (1834-1919) *Taxonomy.
Answer: Proposed four kingdoms (Animals, Plants, PROTISTS,
MONERA)
wrote General Morphology of Organisms proposing four kingdoms.
⩥ Robert Whittaker (1920-1980) *Taxonomy.
Answer: Proposed adding a fifth kingdom (Fungi)
, ⩥ Carl Woese (1928-1912) & George Fox (1945-) *Taxonomy.
Answer: Molecular Techniques (rRNA) and three domains (Bacteria,
Archaea, Eukarya)
⩥ Microbial Classification.
Answer: Difficulties in classifying microbes
Strains of species
- all same species but phenotypically a little different ex: E Coli
pathogenic strain 0157:H7)
Bergey's Manuals
- Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology
- Manual of Systematic Bacteriology
Binomial nomenclature
- 2 word system that names organisms based on genus and species ex:
Homo sapiens -> H. sapiens
⩥ Characteristics and Types of Microbes.
Answer: Cellular v. Acellular
-Acellular prions & viruses not in the tree of life
