# Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran

> He looked at blood under a microscope in Algeria and saw something moving - a parasite no one knew was there. That observation in 1880 cracked malaria, a disease that had killed without explanation for millennia, and earned him the Nobel Prize twenty-seven years later.

## Bio

Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran followed his father into military medicine, earning his degree from the University of Strasbourg in 1867 and joining the French Army at the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. By 29 he held the Chair of Military Diseases and Epidemics at the École de Val-de-Grâce, but his breakthrough came after 1878 in Algeria, where he discovered that the protozoan parasite Plasmodium caused malaria and that Trypanosoma was responsible for African sleeping sickness. He returned to France in 1894, joined the Pasteur Institute in 1896 as Chief of the Honorary Service, and won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1907. He gave half the prize money to establish the Laboratory of Tropical Medicine at Pasteur, founded the Société de Pathologie Exotique in 1908, and was named Commander of the Legion of Honour four years before his death in 1922.
