Ernest Mosny

Ernest Mosny (4 January 1861 – 25 April 1918) was a French physician and hygienist born in La Fère, Aisne.

With Joaquín Albarrán (1860–1912) he performed a series of tests in an attempt to find an antidote to the colon bacillus.

Eventually the two scientists developed a vaccine that achieved a high degree of immunity in dogs and rabbits.

[2][3] In 1912 with biologist Edouard Dujardin-Beaumetz (1868–1947), he studied the effects of bubonic plague in two Alpine marmots during hibernation.

[6] With pathologist Paul Brouardel (1937–1906) and others, he was co-author of the multi-volume Traité d'hygiène.
