Book excerpt: Excerpt from Protozoa and Disease The idea underlying the term contagion in pathology is the supposition that some morbific material is transferred from a diseased to a previously healthy individual, or from an infected to a previously healthy part of the body of the same individual. Long before it was proved that diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever, diphtheria, anthrax, etc., were due to the transference of living vegetable organisms, the hypothesis of a contagium vivum was in existence, and the term 'zymotic, ' or fermentative, was applied to the best-known of the infective fevers. At the beginning of the past century the doctrine of irritation and of inflammation was dominant in pathology.
