Description
Summary:	In keeping with the Pastorian model, Nicolle ran a profitable vaccine service at the Pasteur Institute of Tunis (PIT) and directed research on a host of illnesses, dominated by typhus but including influenza, tuberculosis, scarlet fever, and the animal infirmity of rinderpest. Pelis in most instances was the first to consult this huge corpus, including personal correspondence with Hans Zinsser, author of Rats, Lice, and History (1935) and a fellow searcher after the truths behind typhus and other fevers.
