Johannes Csokor (1881 - 1909)

With him, a dynamic personality was again appointed to the chair. He had diverse interests and talents. His work dealt with infectious diseases, in particular (glanders, tuberculosis, actinomycosis, botryomycosis, rabies, fowlpox, etc.).
He was devoted to experimental pathology and, thus, it was thanks to him that facilities for laboratory animals were annexed to the institute. By 1906, he held a contract to teach meat hygiene.

He wrote a very extensive textbook of forensic veterinary medicine (1896), which is still a great source of information today. His artistic talent can be seen in his numerous self-made moulds, which have been preserved, as well as in his many meticulously drawn illustrations of parasites and their life cycles.
