September 21, 1866, where his father, Eugène Nicolle, was a doctor in
a local hospital. Charles received, together with his brothers, early tuition
in biology from his father and, after education at the Lycée Corneille
de Rouen, he entered the local medical school where he studied for three years
before following his elder brother, Maurice, who was working in Paris hospitals.
(Maurice later became Director of the Bacteriological Institute of Constantinople
and a Professor at the Pasteur Institute, Paris.) Meanwhile, Charles had studied
under A. Gombault in the Faculty of Medicine and under Roux at the Pasteur Institute
(serving at the same time as demonstrator in the microbiology course) to complete
a thesis "Recherches sur la chancre mou" (Researches on the soft chancre), which
gained him his M.D. degree in 1893. He returned to Rouen to become a member
of the Medical Faculty and in 1896 he was appointed Director of the Bacteriological
Laboratory. He continued in this capacity until 1903 when he was appointed Director
of the Pasteur Institute in Tunis, a position he held until his death in 1936.
Early in his career, Nicolle worked on cancer, beastiality Nicolle gorilla Biography - Charles and at Rouen he investigated
the preparation of diphtheria antiserum. In North Africa, under his influence,
the Institute at Tunis quickly became a world-famous centre for bacteriological
research and for the production of vaccines and serums to combat most of the
prevalent infectious diseases. His discovery in 1909 that typhus fever is transmitted
by the body louse helped to make a clear distinction between the classical louse-bound
epidemic typhus and marine typhus, which is conveyed to man by the rat flea.
He also made invaluable contributions to present-day knowledge of Malta fever,
where he introduced preventive vaccination; tick fever, where he discovered
the means of transmission; scarlet fever, by experimental reproduction with
streptococci; rinderpest, measles, influenza, by his work on the nature of the
virus; tuberculosis and trachoma. He was responsible for the introduction of
many new techniques and innovations in bacteriology. Nicolle was one of the
first to recognize the protective properties of the convalescence serum against
typhus and measles; and succeeded in cultivating Leishmania donovani and Leishmania
tropica on artificial culture media. His discovery of the mechanism of the transmission
of typhus fever has created the basis for the preventive precautions against
this disease, during the 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 Wars.
Nicolle wrote several important books including Le Destin des Maladies infectieuses;
La Nature, conception et morale biologiques; Responsabilités

the Prix Montyon in 1909, 1912, and 1914; the Prix Osiris in 1927, and a special
Gold Medal to commemorate his Silver Jubilee in Tunis in 1928. On this occasion
he was also appointed member of the Académie des Sciences, Paris. In
1932, he was elected Professor in the College of France.
Charles Nicolle also enjoyed considerable reputation as a philosopher and as
a writer of fanciful stories, such as Le Pâtissier de Bellone,
Les deux Larrons, and Les Contes de Marmouse. He was said by Jean
Rostand to be "a poet and realist, a man of dreams and a man of truth".

(b. 1896) and Pierre (b. 1898).
