René Dubos, Tuberculosis, and the “Ecological Facets of Virulence”
HPLS (2017) 39:15 DOI 10.1007/s40656-017-0142-5 ORIGINAL PAPER René Dubos, tuberculosis, and the “ecological facets of virulence” Mark Honigsbaum1 Received: 15 January 2017 / Accepted: 23 June 2017 / Published online: 4 July 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Reflecting on his scientific career toward the end of his life, the French- educated medical researcher Rene´ Dubos presented his flowering as an ecological thinker as a story of linear progression—the inevitable product of the intellectual seeds planted in his youth. But how much store should we set by Dubos’s account of his ecological journey? Resisting retrospective biographical readings, this paper seeks to relate the development of Dubos’s ecological ideas to his experimental practices and his career as a laboratory researcher. In particular, I focus on Dubos’s studies of tuberculosis at the Rockefeller Institute in the period 1944–1956—studies which began with an inquiry into the tubercle bacillus and the physiochemical determinants of virulence, but which soon encompassed a wider investigation of the influence of environmental forces and host–parasite interactions on susceptibility and resistance to infection in animal models. At the same time, through a close reading of Dubos’s scientific papers and correspondence, I show how he both drew on and distinguished his ecological ideas from those of other medical researchers such as Theobald Smith, Frank Macfarlane Burnet, and Frank Fenner. However, whereas Burnet and Fenner tended to view ecological interactions at the level of populations, Dubos focused on the interface of hosts and parasites in the physio- logical environments of individuals.

Infectious Disease in Philadelphia, 1690- 1807
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: INFECTIOUS DISEASE IN PHILADELPHIA, 1690- 1807: AN ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE Gilda Marie Anroman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mary Corbin Sies Department of American Studies This dissertation examines the multiple factors that influenced the pattern and distribution of infectious disease in Philadelphia between the years 1690 and 1807, and explores the possible reasons for the astonishingly high level of death from disease throughout the city at this time . What emerges from this study is a complex picture of a city undergoing rapid cultural and epidemiological changes . Large -scale immigration supplied a susceptible population group, as international trade, densely packed street s, unsanitary living conditions, and a stagnant and contaminated water supply combined to create ideal circumstances for the proliferation of both pathogen s and vectors, set ting the stage for the many public health crises that plagued Philadelphia for more than one hundred years. This study uses an ecological perspective to understand how disease worked in Philadelphia . The idea that disease is virtually always a result of the interplay of the environment, the genetic and physical make -up of the individual , and the agent of disease is one of the most importan t cause and effect ideas underpinned by epidemiology. This dissertation integrates me thods from the health sciences, humanities, and social sciences to demonstrate how disease “emergence” in Philadelphia was a dynamic feature of the interrelationships between people and their socio -cultural and physical environments. Classic epidemiological theory , informed by ecological thinking, is used to rev isit the city’s reconstructed demographic data, bills of mortality, selected diaries (notably that of Elizabeth Drinker ), personal letters, contemporary observations and medical literature .

CHAPTER V Some of the Charter Members
YALE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 46, 32-51 (1972) CHAPTER V Some of the Charter Members The American Epidemiological Society was, at the start, a small, but fervent organization. The founding fathers who controlled it played an earnest and mean- ingful role in the early life of this organization which could not help but contribute to its success. In order to give some idea of the personalities involved, brief biographical sketches of a few of the charter members are given. Those 26 persons to whom Emerson and Godfrey had sent out letters of invita- tion in October 1927 and from whom they had received favorable replies, I believe, represent the true charter members of our Society. Another and longer list which bears the name of "Charter Members of the AES" has been unearthed among Haven Emerson's notes, made in the early years of his secretaryship. This list of 40, includes the names of 14 who were elected at the first meeting of the Society, but I have chosen the original 26 as the official charter members. In the early years there seemed to be no need to enlarge the Society beyond the group of 40 mentioned on Emerson's second list. At least it was an ideal group for the type of spirited discussions which were held at AES meetings for the next 5 years. It may be of interest to see what the backgrounds of some of this early group of 40 had been. Three of the men (Frost, Leake and Maxcy) had spent longer or shorter periods of apprenticeship on what might be called observational and statistical epidemiological field studies which dealt with subjects such as polio- myelitis, influenza, and murine typhus.

SABIN* F MEYER (henceforth "KF," as he was affectionately called K by his colleagues) was an outstanding bacteriologist, experimental pathologist, virologist, epidemiologist, ecolo- gist, brilliant and inspiring teacher, and a prototype of the scientist in the service of society. In the tradition of Pasteur and Koch, his scientific studies invariably involved the acquisition of knowledge for the understanding and solution of important practical problems in the field of human and animal diseases. In 1951, when KF was sixty-seven years young, the American Public Health Association presented him a Lasker Award with the following citation that aptly expressed the esteem of his colleagues and summarized his major contributions to science and public health: Brilliant scientist, dynamic teacher, inspired humanitarian. His influ- ence now extends over two generations of students of medicine, biology, *In writing this biographical memoir, I tried whenever possible to let K. F.
