HANS VOGEL (SCIENTIST)

'Hans Vogel' (1900-1980) was a German scientist known for his work in helminthology (study of parasites). For much of his career he was associated with his work done at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg.
In the 1930's Vogel was the first to discover the developmental cycle of ''Opisthorchis felineus'', a trematode known to affect the liver in humans and other mammals. In 1955, he describes ''Echinococcus multilocularis'' as a new species, and a few years later publishes the life cycle and aetiology of the parasite. He is also credited for developing a specific immunization for macaque monkeys to ''Schistosoma japonicum'', a parasite that causes schistosomiasis.
From 1963-1968, Vogel was Director of the Bernhard Nocht Institute.
