Humoral, Miasma, and Germ Theories

Biology Professor (Twitter: @DrWhitneyHolden) teaches about three different ways to understand the spread of disease, including historical humoral and miasma theories as well as the modern germ theory of disease. Early contributions of van Leeuwenhoek, Semmelweis, Snow, Pasteur, and Koch are also briefly explained.

Terrain theory is a crackpot theory that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
Why bother with it? It was never an accepted idea. Just a side grift for snake oil salesmen.

This was very helpful!

[@abdirahmanosman1133]

what does mean humoral ?
thank you for your teaching

[@BiologyProfessor]

Humoral refers to the parts of the immune system that are found in extracellular fluids such as secreted antibodies, complement proteins, and antimicrobial peptides. It is separate from cell-mediate immunity, which includes things like B cells, T cells, and phagocytes.

Is there any particular reason why you pronounce Koch as cook? Shouldn't it rather be cock? I'm sure no one would get the wrong associations.

Why are you classifying Germ theory a theory when you refer to it as fact?

[@sithwolf8017]

That's what a scientific theory is. It's as close as fact as we can get. Don't confuse it with the everyday definition of theory which is basically a hypothesis.
