Abstract:
Paul Martin Julius Kohlstock was a sanitary officer and researcher in tropical medicine. He was born on January 5, 1861 in Berlin, Germany and died on April 15, 1901 in Tianjin, China. On the 1st of December 1896 he arrived in Cape Town as assistant to Robert Koch, to investigate rinderpest at the request of the Colonial Office. A laboratory was established for them at Kimberley, where they developed a method of immunisation against the disease by means of subcutaneous inoculation with fresh bile derived from diseased animals.
