Why was the work of Robert Koch and his research team so important in improving our understanding of the causes of disease? Before Koch’s developed the understanding of the causes of disease‚ Louis Pasteur published his ‘germ theory’ in 1861. His theory was that germs also cause human diseases. He carried out a series of experiments three years later‚ which convinced scientists that his germ theory was correct. It meant that for the first time in history‚ scientists and doctors knew the origin

A. Is a Virus Alive? 1. Viruses are segments of nucleic acids contained in a protein coat. 2. Pathogens are agents that cause disease. 3. Viruses do not grow‚ do not have homeostasis‚ and do not metabolize‚ therefore scientists don’t consider them to be living. 4. Discovery of Viruses i. Scientists filtered bacteria from the sap of infected plants‚ and were surprised to find that the filtered sap could still cause uninfected plants to become infected. ii. In 1935‚ Wendell Stanley of the Rockefeller
