description: Paperback. The recent centenary of Pasteur's death and the bicentenary of Jenner's first vaccination have given rise to the book "Vaccinia, Vaccination, Vaccinology – Jenner, Pasteur and their successors". Jenner's discovery is discussed in a series of papers on smallpox and its eradication by vaccinia. "Vaccinology as a concept of a science ranging from the study of immunology to the development and distribution of vaccines was introduced by Jonas Salk. This concept is supported in the book by the history of methodological progress in vaccine development and to the social and ethical issues raised by vaccination. This book was written by both scientists and historians, some of whom are the chief actors in the drama whose subject matter is the conquest of epidemic disease.
