1 gen 1892 anni - Discovery of the First Virus
Dmitri Ivanovski discovered the first virus in Russia. He discovered the virus
through a study on the tobacco mosaic disease using a Chamberland filter
and found out that it was caused by an extremely small infectious agent that
was able to pass through the filter, which is something a bacteria could never
do. He recorded his findings in an article but never named the organisms.
