| Contribution | Reported transmission of rabies from dogs to rabbits. |

| Notes | The prepatent period was roughly halved. This, with the cheapness of rabbits, facilitated experimental research on rabies. Galtier also suggested that the long prepatent period of human rabies might provide time for therapeutic intervention -- as proved to be the case. |
