Robert Koch established the bacterial aetiology of many infectious diseases and discovered the micro organisms which caused anthrax (1876), infections of injured tissues (1878), TB (1882), conjunctivitis (1883), cholera (1884), and other diseases. He was Professor at the University of Berlin from 1885 to 1891 and the Head of The Institute of The Infectious Diseases from 1891 to 1904. During his bacteriological researches for the German and British Governments, he travelled in South Africa, India, Egypt, and other countries. With this occasion, he elaborated a lot of valuable studies concerning the sleeping sickness, malaria, bubonic plague, leprosy and other infectious diseases. In 1905, he was awarded with Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine for his contribution to the TB studies.
