Life
Danylo Sabolotnyj was born in Chobotarka, today's Sabolotne in the Kryschopil district of the Ukrainian Vinnytsia Oblast, into a Ukrainian peasant family. He lost his father early and his mother was bedridden for many years due to tuberculosis. An uncle of his took him to the city of Rostov-on-Don, where he went to school in neighboring Nakhichevan-on-Don . In 1880 he moved to Odessa and finished school there in 1885. After graduating from high school, he studied at the Natural Sciences Institute of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the New Russian University , but was arrested and expelled from the university in 1889 for participating in student riots. In prison, he developed arrhythmias and rheumatoid arthritis , so that he escaped heavier punishment for revolutionary activities for illness.
In 1891 Sabolotnyj received a first degree diploma from the New Russian University and immediately entered the third year of study at the medical faculty of the Vladimir University in Kiev . There he studied between 1891 and 1894 in the laboratory of Professor Volodymyr Pidwyssozkyj , where he contributed to several studies in 1893, including on cholera . On November 5, 1894, he was awarded the doctorate by the Medical Examination Board of Vladimir University.
In the years that followed, Danylo Sabolotnyj often traveled to places where infectious diseases had broken out, such as Odessa, the Astrakhan province , India, Mongolia, China, Persia, Scotland and Morocco.
He was considered one of the world's leading experts in the epidemiology of epidemics and made a significant contribution to the ultimate eradication of epidemics in Russia. Sabolotnyj was the organizer and from 1928 the first director of the Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the USSR, which is now named after him .
In 1927 he was one of the first scientists in his field to publish his research, The Basics of Epidemiology . In total, he published more than 150 scientific papers.
Sabolotnyj's research on a variety of infectious diseases such as cholera , diphtheria , dysentery , plague , syphilis and typhoid, as well as gangrene was groundbreaking.
