2 unusual facts about Peter Borovsky


Peter Borovsky

Borovsky is credited for the first correct description of the causative agent of Oriental sore.

He microscopically examined sections of sores excised in their early stages, before they ulcerated, and was able to detect oval bodies with a nucleus and a small process, which were usually located inside host cells, and made the correct conclusion that the observed organisms are the causative agents of this disease, and correctly ascribed it to Protozoa.
