jan 1, 1882 - Tobacco Mosaic Disease
Adolf Mayer's work on the tobacco mosaic disease played an important role in
the discovery of viruses. He studied the disease that was affecting tobacco
plants and published a paper on it. However, he didn't come up with the concept
of a virus and instead thought it was some sort of bacteria.
