Erwin Popper (9 December 1879 − 28 September 1955) was an Austrian physician, who, in 1909, along with Karl Landsteiner discovered the infectious character of poliomyelitis. Popper wrote his doctoral thesis in Vienna in 1903 and then became a military surgeon with the artillery.
Abstract. Just over hundred years ago, Karl Landsteiner and Erwin Popper identified a virus, later termed poliovirus, as the causative agent of poliomyelitis.

Scientists say polio is caused by a virus, not by pesticides. A vaccine was developed for polio in the 1950s which led to it being eliminated in North and South America by 1994.
Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, a Stanford University professor who studies global health, infectious diseases and epidemiology, said the notion that polio could be caused by DDT is wrong, flying in the face of more than a century of science and evidence. "I can't think of a scientific reason why anyone would think an environmental substance would cause this...
The strongest proof of the nature of the polio disease is the effectiveness of the vaccine developed for it. The vaccine dropped polio paralysis cases in the U.S. from 15,000 in the 1950s to 10 in the 1970s, according to the CDC. The World Health Organization said cases caused by wild poliovirus globally decreased by over 99%between 1988 and 2021 a...
