Victor Babes
Victor Babeş (July 4, 1854 - October 19, 1926) was a Romanian biologist and one of the earliest bacteriologists.
Born in Vienna in a family from the Banat, he studied in Budapest, then in Vienna, where he received his doctorate.
In 1885 he discovered a parasitic sporozoan of the ticks that was named Babesia (of genus Babesiidae ) after him and which causes a rare and severe disease called babesiosis.
He became a member of the Romanian Academy, of the Paris Academie of Medicin and an officer of the French Legion of Honour.
