			'''Erwin Popper''' (December 9, 1879 – September 28, 1955) was an [[Austrian]] [[physician]] and [[virologist]] known for his work in the field of [[infectious diseases]]. He is best remembered for his co-discovery of the [[poliovirus]], the causative agent of [[poliomyelitis]].

	== Early Life and Education ==		== Early Life and Education ==
	Erwin Popper was born in [[Vienna]], [[Austria]]~~. He~~ pursued his medical studies at the [[University of Vienna]], ~~where he developed a keen interest~~ in [[~~neurology~~]] and [[~~pathology~~]]~~.

Erwin Popper was born in [[Vienna]], [[Austria-Hungary]], where he pursued his medical studies. He graduated from the [[University of Vienna]] with a degree in medicine, specializing in [[pediatrics]] and [[infectious diseases]].

Popper worked at the [[Children's Hospital]] in Vienna, where he conducted research on various infectious diseases affecting children. His most significant contribution to medical science was his collaboration with [[Karl Landsteiner]], which led to the identification of the [[poliovirus]] in 1908.

	Popper~~'s research~~ was ~~not limited~~ to poliomyelitis. ~~He also made significant contributions to~~ the ~~understanding~~ of ~~other neurological diseases. His work has been widely recognized~~ and ~~appreciated in~~ the ~~medical community~~.		== Discovery of the Poliovirus ==
			In 1908, Erwin Popper and [[Karl Landsteiner]] conducted groundbreaking experiments that demonstrated that [[poliomyelitis]] was caused by a [[virus]]. They were able to transmit the disease to [[monkeys]] by injecting them with a filtrate of spinal cord tissue from a child who had died of [[poliomyelitis]]. This discovery was pivotal in understanding the viral nature of the disease and laid the foundation for the development of [[polio vaccines]].

	== Legacy ==		== Legacy ==

Erwin Popper's work significantly advanced the field of [[virology]] and contributed to the eventual eradication of [[poliomyelitis]] in many parts of the world. His research paved the way for the development of effective [[vaccines]] that have saved countless lives.
