Theobald Smith
Theobald Smith FRS(For) HFRSE (July 31, 1859 – December 10, 1934) was a pioneering epidemiologist, bacteriologist, pathologist and professor. Smith is widely considered to be America's first internationally-significant medical research scientist. Smith's research work included the study of babesiosis (originally known as ''Texas cattle fever'') and the more-general epidemiology of cattle diseases caused by tick borne diseases. He also described the bacterium ''Salmonella enterica'' (formerly called ''Salmonella choleraesuis''), a species of ''Salmonella'', named for the Bureau of Animal Industry chief Daniel E. Salmon.

This is based on his disproved notion that there is a “delicate equilibrium” between host and pathogen and that they develop a ...
