Study Notes
Koch's Contributions
- Robert Koch proved that Bacillus anthracis is responsible for anthrax in animals and humans.
Koch's Postulates
- Establish a correlation between the pathogen and the disease by isolating the microbe from a diseased organism.
- Cultivate the microbe in pure culture and demonstrate that it causes the same disease when introduced to a healthy host.
- Re-isolate the microbe from the experimentally infected host to confirm the pathogenicity.
Biotic Disorders
- Examples of biotic disorders include diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and nematodes.
Disease Triangle
- The disease triangle is also referred to as the 'pathogen-host-environment triangle', illustrating the interplay between these components in disease development.
Important Publication
- The book 'Principles of Forest Pathology' was authored by Howard A. Ainsworth.
