From 1882-1888 Loir was an assistant in Pasteur's laboratory where he performed research on swine fever. In 1886 he installs the first anti-rabies clinic in St. Petersburg. Between 1888 and 1893 he makes two journeys to Australia to research anthrax and pleropneumonia. While there he investigates the use of chicken cholera bacillus in an attempt to eradicate the country's rabbit infestation.
Between 1893-1902 Loir is dispatched to Tunisia as an instructor of hygiene and bacteriology at the colonial school in Tunis.
