Kiyoshi Shiga was a bacteriologist who was chiefly noted for his 1897 discovery of the dysentery known as shigella which bears his name.
In 1899, Shiga was appointed to the position of laboratory director at the Institute for Infectious Diseases in Tokyo.
In 1936, Shiga was appointed as an official of the imperial household.

 Sleeping sickness - Wikipedia
The causative agent and the vector were not identified until 1902-1903, and the differentiation between protozoa was not made until 1910.
An arsenic based drug, atoxyl, was the first effective drug, developed by Paul Ehrlich and Kiyoshi Shiga[?], from trypan red in 1906.
After patients became blind due to incorrect dosages of atoxyl, the organo-arsenical melarsoprol (Arsobal) was developed in the 1940s.

Shigella thrives in the human intestine and is commonly spread both through food and by person-to-person contact.
Also, many strains produce a toxin called "shiga toxin" which is very potent and destructive.
Shiga toxin is very similar to the verotoxin of E.Coli O157:H7.

The story quotes Mohamed Karmali of the University of Toronto, who says new diseases require a conspiracy between biology (the acquisition of new genetic material) and opportunity (by moving into O157, and its presence in cattle, Shiga toxin was brought into the mainstream of the American diet).
A CDC scientist says that O157 causes 20,000 illnesses a year, with 250 to 500 deaths, but there may be an additional 10,000 to 20,000 cases of food poisoning caused by Shiga toxin in other strains of bacteria.
The Tufts researchers report in this month's Journal of Food Protection that 3 of 12 samples of hamburger obtained from grocery stores were contaminated with Shiga toxin and the live bacteria that produce it.

 RFLP mapping of the calmodulin gene of Neurospora crassa
Yutaka Sadakane, Kiyoshi Onai, Masashi Akiyama, and Hideaki Nakashima- Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Okayama University, Tsushimanaka 3-1-1, Okayama 700, JAPAN
The map position of the calmodulin gene (cmd) was determined by RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) mapping in Neurospora crassa.
Calmodulin cDNA was amplified by shuttle PCR (30 cycles of incubation at 94oC for 30 sec and at 68 oC for 5 min) with ExTaq polymerase (Takara, Shiga, Japan).

I can only speculate that Kitasato’s and Shiga’s teacher/student relationship was unique in that it bore remarkable fruit which led to the therapies that brought cholera and diphtheria under control.
If ever Japan needed the spirit of Kitasato and Shiga – and the example of that unknown couple in Kyoto – it would have to be now, in the world’s need to end the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which is slowly but surely tightening the noose in the Asia/Pacific region as it already has in sub-Saharan Africa.
Shibasaburu Kitasato and Kiyoshi Shiga worked in a time which saw rapid industrialization, modernisation, and the introduction of Western organizational practices.

The Shigella group of bacteria was discovered over 100 years ago by a Japanese scientist named Kiyoshi Shiga, for whom the bacteria are named (2).
Each variation of the bacteria is able to penetrate large intestine epithelial cells and multiply within.
This enables it to kill host cells by inhibiting protein synthesis (1).
