Stanislaus Josef Mathias von Prowazek, Edler von Lanow (12 November, 1875 Jindřichův Hradec, Bohemia - 17 February, 1915, Cottbus), born Stanislav Provázek, was a Czech zoologist and parasitologist, who along with pathologist Henrique da Rocha Lima (1879-1956) discovered the pathogen of epidemic typhus. As a student at the University of Prague, he was influenced by the works of zoologist Berthold Hatschek (1854-1941) and philosopher Ernst Mach (1838-1916). Other important influences to his career were immunologist Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915) at Frankfurt (1901) and zoologist Richard von Hertwig (1850-1937) in Munich. With radiologist Ludwig Halberstädter (1876-1949), he described the inclusion bodies (Halberstädter-Prowazek bodies) of ''Chlamydia trachomatis'', the agent that is the cause of trachoma.〔(Stanislaus von Prowazek ) @ Who Named It〕 Prowazek studied epidemic typhus in Serbia (1913) and Istanbul (1914). Later, while Prowazek and Rocha Lima were working in a German prison hospital, they both became infected with typhus. Prowazek died soon afterwards on February 17, 1915. Rocha Lima named the infectious agent of epidemic typhus- ''Rickettsia prowazekii'' after his colleague. == Written Works == * ''Über Zelleinschlüsse parasitärer Natur beim Trachom''.
