Amédée Borrel (1867 – 15 September 1936) was a French biologist born in Cazouls-lès-Béziers, Hérault. He studied natural sciences at the University of Montpellier, where he earned his degree in 1890. From 1892 to 1895, Borrel worked in the laboratory of Ilya Ilyich Metchnikoff (1845–1916) at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Here he performed research of tuberculosis, and with Alexandre Yersin (1863–1943) and Léon Charles Albert Calmette (1863–1933), he worked on a vaccine against bubonic plague. With Yersin and Calmette, he co-published the treatise ''Le microbe de la peste à bubons'' concerning the plague bacillus. He is also credited for pioneer investigations on the viral theory of cancer. From 1896 to 1914 he served as laboratory chief of the microbiology course at the Pasteur Institute. In 1919 he attained the chair of bacteriology at the University of Strasbourg. A genus of bacteria called ''Borrelia'' is named after Amédée Borrel, as are "Borrel bodies", which are tiny virus-containing granules that cluster to form "Bollinger bodies", which in turn are found in tissue cells of fowlpox. Bollinger bodies are named after German pathologist Otto Bollinger (1843–1909). In 1900 he became a member of the ''Société de biologie''. During World War I, Borrel developed one of the earliest known gas masks. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amédée Borrel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
