November 3, 1933, Paris) was a French physician, bacteriologist and immunologist who was one of the closest collaborators of Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), a co-founder of the Pasteur Institute and discoverer of the anti-diphtheria serum, the first effective therapy for this disease.
Roux got his baccalaureate in sciences in 1871 and started his studies in 1872 at the Medical School of Clermont-Ferrand.
Roux was now recognized as an expert in the nascent sciences of medical microbiology and immunology.
Emil Adolf von Behring (March 15, 1854 – March 31, 1917) was born at Hansdorf, Eylau, Germany (as Emil Adolf Behring).
Behring was the discoverer of diphtheria antitoxin and attained a great reputation by that means and by his contributions to the study of immunity.
At the International Tuberculosis Congress in 1905 he announced that he had discovered "a substance proceeding from the virus of tuberculosis." This substance, which he designated "T C," plays the important part in the immunizing action of Professor Behring's "bovivaccine," which prevents bovine tuberculosis.
Roux, with Alexandre Yersin at the Pasteur Institute in Paris (1888), demonstrated that the diphtheria organism produces a toxin.
In 1890 Emil von Behring (18541917) and Shibasaburo Kitasato (18521931), shown together on the Transkei stamp, reported the development of diphtheria antitoxin and antitoxic immunity.
For this work, von Behring received the first Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1901 and subsequently developed the diphtheria toxoid vaccine, which is responsible for the rarity of diphtheria today in developed countries.
Emil Adolf Behring was born on March 15, 1854 at Hansdorf, Deutsch-Eylau as the eldest son of the second marriage of a schoolmaster with a total of 13 children.
Ehrlich, Löffler, Roux, Yersin and others, which led the foundation of our modern knowledge of the immunology of bacterial diseases; but he is, himself, chiefly remembered for his work on diphtheria and on tuberculosis.
During the years 1888-1890 E. Roux and A. Yersin, working at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, had shown that filtrates of diphtheria cultures which contained no bacilli, contained a substance which they called a toxin, that produced, when injected into animals, all the symptoms of diphtheria.
Roux was a member of the Commune of Paris of Aug., 1792.

Behring made major contributions to the understanding of the body 's immune system, discovered the first successful treatment for tetanus, and came to be known as the "Children's Savior" for his success in conquering diphtheria.

Roux and Chamberland were carrying out a series of experiments where they made a fresh culture of chicken cholera bacteria every day.
Pasteur, Roux and Chamberland had discovered by chance a method of weakening a culture of bacteria so that it would not produce the fatal disease with which it was usually associated; but on the other hand, it was still able to alert the body’s defense mechanisms, so that the inoculated animal became immune.
When Pasteur, Roux and Chamberland took samples of saliva from the foaming jaws of mad dogs, they risked being bitten by accident and condemned to an agonizing death from the convulsions of rabies.
Playwright Emil Sher is creating a new genre of drama with his radio morality-plays that explore ethical choices lurking behind the headlines of the daily news.
He writes within the rich Canadian tradition of the documentary, "the creative treatment of actuality" as NFB founder John Grierson once defined it, while exploring the complex moral questions contained in the original news stories he freely adapts.
Shortly after being named Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec in 1996, evidence surfaced about Roux's youthful brush with Nazism, forcing him to resign amid an acrimonious media storm.
He attended a course at the Institut Pasteur and from his teacher, Pierre Paul EmilRoux (1853-1933), soon received the assignment to establish an immunisation institute against smallpox and rabies in the Pasteur-Institute of Saigon.
During his examinations of the alcoholic fermentation of rice he found a mushroom to be the pathogen, and named it Roux it in honour of his teacher.
In 1895 Roux entrusted him with the directorship of the Institut Pasteur in Lille, a position he held until 1919, nearly twenty-five years.
Serum therapy in the form in which it finds application in the treatment of diphtheria patients is an antitoxic or detoxicating curative method.
It is based on the view, held by Löffler in Germany and by Roux in France, that the parasites causing diphtheria, the Löffler diphtheria bacilli, do not themselves cause diphtheria, but that they produce poisons which cause the disease to develop.
When the diphtheria poison is rendered harmless within the human organism, then the diphtheria bacilli behave like the innumerable micro-organisms which we absorb without suffering harm every day and like those micro-organisms which correspond morphologically with the diphtheria bacilli, but, from the outset, have no capacity to produce poisons (pseudo-diphtheria bacilli).

A pioneer in serum therapy, following the work of P. Roux, he demonstrated immunization against diphtheria (1890) and tetanus (1892) by injections of antitoxins (a word he introduced) that he developed with Kitasato.
For this work he received the 1901 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Seventh overall is not a position that Cobus Erasmus often fills, but having sold his Golf in favour of a very neat BMW 325i saw him slowly adapting to the challenges of rear wheel driven vehicles and with Aranda Fourie hanging on for dear life the white car provided much entertainment during the afternoon.
