520 1 $a"Although Theobald Smith is generally viewed today as America's most distinguished early microbiologist and probably the greatest comparative pathologist the world has seen, he is not as well known, nearly seventy years after his death, as he deserves to be. This is owing, in part, to his modest and self-effacing nature that led him to discourage biographical recognition and to the fact that others claimed credit for several of his discoveries." "Smith's most celebrated discovery was his determination of the transmission of a disease, Texas cattle fever, through a blood-sucking arthropod, a discovery that predated by several years similar findings by David Bruce in sleeping sickness (1895), Ronald Ross in malaria (1898), and Walter Reed in yellow fever (1900). Smith early on concentrated his attention on tuberculosis, in which he differentiated the human from the bovine form, providing the first proof of variation among bacteria. He was also among the first to assay drinking water for bacterial contamination, and helped pioneer many other public health techniques and measures." "Suppressing the Diseases of Animals and Man, the first book-length biography of Theobald Smith to appear in print, is based primarily on his personal papers and correspondence that have remained in the possession of his descendants until now."--BOOK JACKET.
