In the late 19th century, French microbiologist Louis Pasteur made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of rabies. His tireless efforts and dedication to scientific research revolutionized our understanding of this deadly disease. One notable event occurred in 1896 when Pasteur encountered a case of acute rabies during its wandering stage. This encounter further fueled his determination to find a cure for this devastating illness. Another significant moment came in 1874 when Pasteur was bitten by a rabid dog named Lis. This personal experience only intensified his resolve to develop an effective treatment for rabies. During the 19th century, an engraving depicted Doctor Pasteur examining a young boy infected with rabies. This powerful image captured the urgency and gravity of their situation, highlighting the desperate need for medical intervention. While studying various species affected by rabies, researchers observed Ethiopian Wolf mothers bringing prey, such as rodents, to their hungry pups. These observations shed light on how this virus spreads among wildlife populations. Finally, in 1922, assisted by Dr. Grancher, Louis Pasteur successfully inoculated the first known case of human infection with the rabies virus. This groundbreaking achievement marked a turning point in medical history and offered hope to countless individuals afflicted by this deadly disease. Throughout history, communities have faced challenges posed by rabid dogs roaming their streets. A caricature from c1840 humorously portrays Parisians dealing with these dangerous animals while emphasizing society's struggle against them. An engraving from Harpers Weekly dated August 2nd, 1879 depicts a New York City policeman bravely shooting down a mad dog on Broadway—a testament to the ongoing battle against this menacing disease even outside laboratory walls. Looking back even further into history reveals Agostino Novella rescuing a child who had been bitten by a dog—an act of heroism that highlights humanity's enduring fight against infectious diseases like rabies since ancient times.
