    Hideyo Noguchi African Prize Promoting Medical Research and Medical Service to Fight Infectious Diseases in the Africa Dr. Hideyo Noguchi - I shall not return to my native home if I do not achieve my objective Hideyo Noguchi (1876‒1928) was a prominent Japanese bacteriologist in the early twentieth century. In spite of a physical handicap, burn on his left hand during his early childhood, he managed to obtain, through extraordinarily hard work, a license to practice medicine in Japan. He moved to the United States in 1900 to work with Prof. Simon Flexner at the University of Pennsylvania and in 1904 joined the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University). He made important studies of snake venoms, of smallpox and yellow-fever vaccines, and of the laboratory diagnosis of trachoma. One of his most important achievements of this period was the successful cultivation of pure Syphilis Spirochaeta in 1911 which brought him to world prominence. After extensive travel throughout Central and South America researching on vaccines for such diseases as yellow fever, Oroya fever and poliomyelitis which threatened the lives of millions of people in those days, he eventually ventured into Africa to confirm his findings. He tried to demonstrate the hypothesis that yellow fever was caused by spirochete bacteria but in vain, because at that time the electron microscope to observe viruses had not been invented yet. While working in Accra, Ghana, he was struck down by the yellow fever virus, his last words being “I don’t understand.” The grave of Dr. Hideyo Noguchi in Woodlawn Cemetery in New York, the United States, is inscribed with the following epitaph: “Through devotion to science, he lived and died for humanity.” In 2004, Dr.

The choice of the generic name for a given variety is still very much dependent upon the indivi5lual views held by diffei"Bnt investigators, and this has led to a somewhat chaotic state of affairs in the nomenclatur� of this group of organisms. This is found to be the case more especially in the medical literature where these minute spiral organisms play an important part as causative agents of certain diseases. Nevertheless, thus far but little attention has been paid to the systematic position occupied by them. Since Ehren�erg 1 in 1838 introduced a new generic term "Spirochreta" to designate a free living spfral organism which he found in a swamp near Berlin, it remained practically unnoticed until 1904, when Schaudinn 2 stated as his view that certain spirochretes constitute a phase of the life cycle of trypanosomes; hence, that they are of protozoan origin instead of being plants.

  • Dr. Hideyo Noguchi's Academic Achievements and Contribution To
    Dr. Hideyo Noguchi’s Academic Achievements and Contribution to Africa 1. Dr. Hideyo Noguchi started his medical research in earnest after moving to the United States in 1901. As a leading researcher in the then fledgling Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, Noguchi’s research paper output was extraordinary. The number of research papers written by Noguchi reached almost 200, and various kinds of infectious diseases came under his scope of research. Projects varied from investigation of pathogens and development of experimental technique, to immunology and production of vaccine which raised the academic profile of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research phenomenally worldwide. 2. Dr. Noguchi’s major research achievements are as follows: (1) Discovery of Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, in the brains of progressive paralysis patients (1913) (2) Success in growing pure culture of syphilis spirochete (1911) (However, no one has succeeded ever since in the replication of pure culture of syphilis spirochete.) (3) Proves that both Oroya fever and verruga peruana are both caused by a single pathogen Bartonella bacilliformis by verifying that Bartonella bacilliformis invades red blood cells in both cases (1926) (4) Succeeds in isolating Leptospira icteroides from patients of yellow fever (1919) (Leptospira, which was then identified as the cause of yellow fever by Noguchi, was later disproved to be the spirochete of Weil’s Disease. His name is remembered in the binomial leptospira noguchi in the classification of spirochetes.) For the above academic achievements, Noguchi was three times nominated as a Nobel Prize candidate in the period 1914-1920. 3. Dr. Hideyo Noguchi was struck down by yellow fever while working in search of the pathogen of yellow fever in Accra, Ghana.

  • Pure Cultivation in Vivo of Vaccine Virus Free from Bacteria.*
    PURE CULTIVATION IN VIVO OF VACCINE VIRUS FREE FROM BACTERIA.* BY HIDEYO NOGUCHI, M.D. (From the Laboratories of The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.) Downloaded from http://rupress.org/jem/article-pdf/21/6/539/1138538/539.pdf by guest on 03 October 2021 PLATES 39 TO 5~ In spite of much effort n,o method has, up to the present time, been perfected by which vaccine virus can be propagated in a pure state, free from con'taminating bacteria. The method of propagating vac- cine virus universally practiced today consists in transmitting the virus from the skin of one calf to that of ano~ther. Although the inoculation of the virus is carried out under precautions as strtictly aseptic as possible, the fresh product nevertheless yielded by the skin contains a not inconsiderable number of different bacteria de- rived from the skin surfaces, the air, etc. The employment of glycerin as an elective germicide against the non-spore-bearing bacteria contained in fresh, or so called "green," vaccine pulp results in a great reducti'on both in number and variety of the contaminating micro6rganisms, without at the same time seriously impairing the activity of the vaccine virus (I). After con- tact with concentrated glycerin, in a refrigerator, ranging from one to three months, the virus usually is freed from most of the bacteria and becomes "ripe " for practical use in vaccina,tion on human beings. Different samples of the ripe vaccine preparations, as issued from various authorized sources, vary in their activities as well as in their germ contents.
