1624 - Thomas Sydenham - studied epidemics, noted association between fleas and typhus fever
1790 - Edward Jenner - developed vaccine for small pox
1820 - Lamuel Shattock - began sanitation awareness in the America's
1842 - Edwin Chadwick - published legislations regarding sanitation in England
1854 - John Snow - studied cholera epidemic in London
1880 - Louis Pasteur - proposed germ theory of disease
