This article outlines the generally well known story of the attempt by Louis Pasteur to win the significant reward offered by the colonial governments of what would become Australia for biological control of the rabbit plague then infesting the continent. While the Pasteur bid, led by his nephew Adrien Loir, was not awarded the prize, there were significant flow-on benefits for agriculture in the colonies. The major benefit was the production of an effective vaccine for what the colonials called Cumberland disease (now known as anthrax). Loir also developed and/or provided vaccines for bovine pleuropneumonia and blackleg of cattle. Benefits also flowed back to France as the funds from the Cumberland disease vaccine sales to the colonial farmers helped support the newly established Pasteur Institute. The on-going controversy in the colonies and in the early days of the new nation of Australia over the use of a biological control agent (the organism we now know as Pasteurella multocida) is covered. This includes how a proposed biological control program using P. multocida became part of a class war. Finally, the irony that history continues to repeat itself – Hollywood’s recently most famous dogs (Pistol and Boo) were simply repeating the story line of Star and Chouette - is covered.

巴斯德,兔子和坎伯兰病

本文概述了路易·巴斯德(Louis Pasteur)试图赢得殖民地政府提供的重大奖励的众所周知的故事,该殖民地政府后来对澳大利亚进行了生物防治,即随后对非洲大陆的鼠疫进行了生物防治。虽然由他的侄子阿德里安·卢瓦尔(Adrien Loir)领导的巴斯德(Basteur)竞标没有被授予该奖项,但殖民地的农业却获得了长足的收益。主要的好处是为殖民地称为坎伯兰病(现称为炭疽病)生产了有效的疫苗。卢瓦尔河还开发和/或提供了牛胸膜肺炎和牛黑腿病的疫苗。收益也回流到法国,因为向殖民地农民出售坎伯兰病疫苗的资金帮助支持了新成立的巴斯德研究所。覆盖多杀性巴斯德氏菌。这包括拟议的使用多杀性疟原虫的生物防治计划如何成为阶级战争的一部分。最后,历史不断重复的讽刺意味–涵盖了好莱坞最近最著名的狗(手枪和嘘)只是在重复《星际大战》的故事情节。
