Robert Koch --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer! Koch's postulates remain fundamental to pathology: the organism should always be found in sick animals and never in healthy ones; it must be grown in pure culture; the cultured organism must make a healthy animal sick; and it must be reisolated from the newly sick animal and recultured and still be the same. Robert Koch --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer! As the first to isolate the anthrax bacillus, observe its life cycle, and develop a preventive inoculation for it, he was the first to prove a causal relationship between a bacillus and a disease. concise.britannica.com /ebc/article-9369325?tocId=9369325   (165 words)

Infectious Diseases - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch One way of proving that a given disease is "infectious", is to satisfy Koch's postulates (Robert Koch), which demand that the infectious agent is identified in patients and not in controls, and that patients who contract the agent also develop the disease. Robert Koch, mentioned above, gave the study of infectious diseases a scientific basis by formulating Koch's postulates. For infectious diseases it help to determine if a disease outbreak is sporadic (occasional occurrence), endemic (regular cases often occurring in a region), epidemic (an unusually high number of cases in a region), or pandemic (a global epidemic). encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /infectious_diseases.htm   (1103 words)

= Reef Relief = Coral Diseases: What is Really Known? A team of investigators, using both laboratory and field techniques, showed that the lesions were caused by the terrestrial fungus Apergillus sydowii (proven in laboratory experiments that fulfilled Koch's postulates, see Koch's postulates for demonstrating the identity of a pathogenic microorganism), and that disease incidence was correlated with water depth and protection from wave exposure. First, duplication of the normal reef environment in library aquaria is difficult, especially in terms of water movement (currents vs. Aeration) and microorganisms present in the water column. Only 3 diseases (aspergillosis, black band disease and plague type II) have an associated microorganism (or microbial consortium) that has been demonstrated to be the disease pathogen. www.reefrelief.org /coralreef/study/coraldisease.html   (1103 words)

Microbiology  True or False Quiz The primary difference between Koch's original postulates and the "molecular" Koch's postulates is that instead of the presence or absence of a particular microorganism, we consider whether a particular virulence gene is present and active. Sergei Winogradsky and Martinus Beijerinck demonstrated that microbes have an essential role in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen into usable nitrates. In his studies on fermentation, Louis Pasteur presented the first evidence that some microorganisms could grow anaerobically (in the absence of oxygen). highered.mcgraw-hill.com /sites/0072320419/student_view0/chapter1/true_or_false.html   (182 words)

Michael Fumento reviews: "Rethinking AIDS — The Tragic Cost of Premature Consensus." Taking a tack from Duesberg, Root-Bernstein attributes tremendous scientific importance to the fact that the HIV-AIDS connection does not satisfy Koch's postulates, a system devised a century ago by Robert Koch, a German physician, to establish the relationhip between a disease and its suspected cause. But Koch, though a brilliant researcher, was not the epidemiological equivalent of Moses the Lawgiver, and, in any event, viruses had not even been discovered when he formulated his rules. Root-Bernstein is joined in his heresy most notably by the biologist Pete Duesberg at Berkeley, whose views have been publicized in journals ranging from Policy Review to the Atlantic. www.fumento.com /heretic.html   (1383 words)

Duesberg on AIDS- Is HIV Cause Of AIDS? Duesberg and Ellsion emphasize the failure of HIV to satisfy the criteria of Koch's postulates. However, even when he was restating criteria earlier proposed by his teacher, Jacob Henle, Robert Koch knew that certain pathogenic bacteria, in particular the tubercle bacillus, did not fully satisfy the criteria. In modern times, established pathogens such as poliovirus do not satisfy Koch's first or third postulate, i.e., the virus cannot be isolated from all cases and only a small proportion of infected persons develop disease. www.duesberg.com /about/pdpolicyrep.html   (1383 words)

Introductory Biology Courseware (103)- Viruses and Unicellular Organisms These rules, known as Koch's postulates, are still important among modern procedures used to establish the relationship between diseases and the microorganisms which cause them. At that time, the German physician, Robert Koch, established a set of rules which could be used to test if a disease could be attributed to a microorganism. In 1933, Stanley purified an extract of the causative agent of tobacco mosaic disease as crystals which were determined to still be able to cause disease. tidepool.st.usm.edu /crswr/103virusunicells.html   (2103 words)

Infectious disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Robert Koch, mentioned above, gave the study of infectious diseases a scientific basis by formulating Koch's postulates. Infectious diseases are the invasion of a host organism by a foreign replicator, generally microorganisms, often called microbes, that are invisible to the naked eye.

HIV & AIDS - HIV and AIDS; Correlation but not causation The causative agent of an infectious disease is classically defined by the postulates of Robert Koch and Jacob Henle (66, 67). However, their definitive text was formulated by Koch to distinguish causative from other bacteria at a time when bacteriologists applying newly developed tools in the search for pathogenic microbes found all sorts of bacteria in humans. They were originally formulated a priori by Henle about 50 years before bacteria and viruses were discovered to be pathogens(67). www.virusmyth.net /aids/data/pdpnas89.htm   (1083 words)

Biomedical Science studends on-line He established certain criteria for the identification of a disease's causative organism, and these became known as Koch's postulates'. Koch was born at Klausthal in Hanover on 11 December 1843, his father being a mining engineer of some standing. He studied medicine at the University of Gottingen, obtaining his doctor's degree in 1866 and his first post appears to have been that of assistant in the General Hospital, Hamburg. groups.msn.com /BiomedicalSciencestudendsonline/yourwebpage23.msnw   (1083 words)

Does HIV cause AIDS? An updated response to Duesberg's theories. Duesberg bases his hypothesis on the fact that HIV fulfills neither Koch's classic postulates nor several more of his own postulates for viral pathogenesis. Peter H. Duesberg recently published that HIV and AIDS may well be correlated, but stated that HIV is not the cause of AIDS. Following the summary of individual pathogenic mechanisms of HIV infection, the separate points of Duesberg's hypothesis are discussed in detail. www.aegis.com /aidsline/1991/may/M9150456.html   (441 words)

west_nile_virus.htm Koch's postulates are a statement of four logical rules for determining whether a pathogen exists and is the cause of a disease (e.g. The use of antibodies to detect a virus then, at a minimum, requires that the virus has been purified, and even then can only be used as a less than perfect indicator of past infection, and can never be used as proof that Koch's first postulate has been established. Without this it is not possible to state that a virus is present in organisms that have the disease, it is not possible to know what the virus is composed of, and it is not possible to know whether it, and it alone, is sufficient to cause disease in another organism. www.mercola.com /2001/oct/3/west_nile_virus.htm   (3741 words)

Salon.com Health Contributing to genocide He cites as evidence the failure of HIV to comply with specific scientific postulates (the "Koch postulates," created in 1840 and 1890, before the discovery of viruses) or to follow cardinal rules of virus behavior. Rather, Duesberg and the deniers believe that AIDS is caused by chromosomal damage, certain lifestyles, drug abuse, malnutrition, poor sanitation and parasitic infections. Duesberg, whose AIDS research has been criticized by most AIDS researchers, has consistently maintained that HIV does not cause AIDS. www.salon.com /health/feature/2000/07/28/aidsdeniers   (3741 words)

Plant Disease Note 2004 First Report of Brown Root Rot of Alfalfa Caused by Phoma sclerotioides in Wisconsin Proof of pathogenicity via Koch’s postulates for this host-pathogen system was not attempted because of the extensive time period required (1). Amplicons of the expected size (499 bp) were detected from alfalfa roots sampled from Marathon (4 of 4), Marinette (4 of 5), and Pierce (4 of 4) counties but not in roots from healthy controls produced in the greenhouse at Prosser, WA. Brown root rot (BRR) has been associated with winterkill of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) in the temperate regions of North America where winters are severe (1). www.apsnet.org /pd/searchnotes/2004/0518-02N.asp   (3741 words)

Neissera The organism was grown in pure culture in 1885, and its etiological relationship to human disease was later established using human volunteers in order to fulfill the experimental requirements of Koch's postulates. Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are acquired by sexual contact and usually affect the mucous membranes of the urethra in males and the endocervix and urethra in females, although the infection may disseminate to a variety of tissues. The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, the meningococcus, is identical in its staining and morphological characteristics to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. textbookofbacteriology.net /neisseria.html   (5666 words)

Koch Koch developed a system for identifying disease-causing organisms, Koch's Postulates, which are is still in use today.

Plant Disease Note 2004 First Report of Basal Stem Rot of Golden Barrel Cactus Caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. opuntiarum in Italy Koch’s postulates were performed at 25°C by inoculating 24 golden barrel cactus plants in 12-cm-diameter pots (12 plants previously sterile needle wounded) with 10 ml per plant of three suspensions (10(^6) CFU/ml) of three isolates sprayed onto the basal stem. During 2000, 2001, and 2002, a basal stem rot of golden barrel cactus was observed in several plastichouses located in eastern Sicily with disease levels of nearly 100% on young plants (up to 15 cm in diameter). All cacti were maintained in polyethylene bags (90 to 95% for 72 hr) at 25°C. After 12 to 15 days, all wounded inoculated golden barrel, devil’s tongue barrel, and peruvian old man cacti exhibited similar symptoms observed in the plastichouses. www.apsnet.org /pd/searchnotes/2004/1107-01N.asp   (545 words)
