HISTORY
-Pharaoh Ramses V - died in 1196 B.C. –
small pox
-Koch & Pasteur -1880s → Germ theory of
disease
– Esp. bacteria; Pasteur worked with
rabies- described as a poison)
■ Two types
– Scanning electron
microscope (SEM)
■ Surfaces of the viruses
– Transmission electron
microscope (TEM)

viruses
HISTORY
EDWARD JENNER- British doctor
■ May 14,1796 - used cowpox-infected

Smallpox
– Caused by Variola virus
– 35% Mortality Rate
– Causes severe scarring & Blindness
– Eradicated by 1986
