Louis Georges Neumann
Louis Georges Neumann (born October 22, 1846 in Paris ; died June 28, 1930 in Saint-Jean-de-Luz , Département Pyrénées-Atlantiques ) was a French veterinarian , entomologist , acarologist and parasitologist . With more than a hundred first descriptions of ticks and a large number of acarological publications, he is one of the most important parasitologists in medical history.
Life
Louis Georges Neumann was orphaned at an early age. After studying veterinary medicine, he joined the French army as a veterinarian and served in the cavalry school in Saumur . In 1878, at the age of 32, he first became a lecturer and in 1880 a professor at the École nationale vétérinaire de Toulouse , where a chair for natural medical history had just been established. At first Neumann was concerned with helminthology , but soon turned to arthropods . He quickly became a recognized authority on human lice , jaw lice, and ticks . In the field of ticks he became the world's leading expert. Researchers from all over the world came to Toulouse to work with Neumann and study his tick collection.
The numerous scientific research trips at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries collected large amounts of biological samples. As far as ticks were concerned, Neumann was often the addressee of the harvest, who was entrusted with the identification of known species and the description of new species. So he worked on the parasites of the Belgica expedition under Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery (1897-1899), the fourth and fifth French Antarctic expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot (1903-1905 and 1908-1910) and the three expeditions of John Stanley Gardiner to Indian and Pacific Oceans (1897–1909). Neumann conducted a lively exchange of information and specimen copies. Most of the holotypes of the species described by Neumann are in the collection of the École nationale vétérinaire de Toulouse, but the Natural History Museum in London has numerous lectotypes due to its trade activities with colleagues such as George HF Nuttall .
Almost at the beginning of Neumann's publication activity is his monograph on the parasitosis of farm animals, published in 1888, which was published in a second edition and repeatedly in English translation as early as 1892. It was supplemented in 1909 and 1914 by volumes on the parasites of poultry and dogs and cats. In 1896 Neumann published the Biographies Vétérinaires , a biographical encyclopedia on the history of veterinary medicine. Neumann's most important work was his Revision de la famille des Ixodidés between 1896 and 1901 . From 1902 to 1908 Neumann supplemented this work with seven Notes sur les Ixodidés . Another highlight among Neumann's publications is the 26th delivery of the collective work Das Tierreich , published in 1911 , in which he deals with the Ixodidae (ticks). Neumann was not only a meticulous observer and taxonomist, but also an excellent draftsman. He made the portraits in his Biographies Vétérinaires as well as the drawings in his first descriptions and other zoological publications himself.
In addition to his colleague Alcide Railliet , a helminthologist , Neumann was one of the two formative personalities of French parasitology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Both are considered the founders of veterinary parasitology in France. Neumann retired in 1914. He was a member of the Académie nationale de médecine and was elected on June 17, 1918 as a corresponding member of the Académie des sciences .

Contrary to the information in the literature, the genera Neumanniella Michaelsen , 1903 and Neumanniona Michaelsen , 1935, two genera of little bristles of the Eudrilidae family , were named not after Louis Georges Neumann, but after the German ornithologist and mammalogist Oscar Neumann .
