[Outstanding epidemiologists and microbiologists--natives of Ukraine].
Our compatriots, who worked outside of Ukraine, played an important role in the development of epidemiology, bacteriology, virology and immunology. The names of most of them are connected not only with the scientific research and control of epidemics, but also with the development of medical education and improvement of the public health system. They are: D.S. Samoylovich, K.O. Yagelsky, M.L. Gamaleya, E.S. Andreyevsky, I.I. Mechnikov, I.S. Dudchenko, D.K. Zabolotny, S.M. Vinogradsky, V.L. Omelyanskiy, A.Y. Alimov, N.F. Gamaleya, V.A. Havkin, M.V. Veynberg, I.G. Savchenko, L.A. Tarasevich, P.M. Lashchenkov, G.D. Belonovsky, I.Y. Rogozin, L.V. Gromashevsky, S.V. Korshun, G.P. Rudnev, A.F. Bilibin, M.M. Mayevsky, A.A. Imshenetsky, V.M. Zhdanov, B.A. Lapin, Z.A. Vaksman, L.L. Dmohovskiy, and I. Kohan. There are two Nobel prize laureates among them, 9 Academicians (three of them were the Members of many Academies of Science of different countries); 13 scientists offered new methods of scientific research, disease therapy and prophylaxis; 11 of them were directors and organizers of new scientific research institutes; six institutes were named after some of them; 10 scientists made important discoveries; 22 of them were Doctors of science (16 of them were professors, heads of the chairs); three of them organized seven new departments; 8 scientists are the authors of textbooks (three of them were the first ones). So, 29 natives of Ukraine, who worked outside the country, made a great contribution to the development of microbiology and epidemiology. Such of them as D.S. Samoylovich, D.K. Zabolotny, I.I. Mechnikov, M.F. Gamaleya, E.S. Andreyevsky, I.G. Savchenko, S.V. Korshun and L.V. Gromashevsky worked in their Motherland, assisting the development of the home science, medical education and public health system.
