Roman Franciszek Henryk Nitsch was born on September 5, 1873 in Podchybie. In 1899, he graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of the Jagiellonian University. Until 1915, he worked as an assistant in the Department of Hygiene of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, cooperating with Prof. Odon Bujwid. In 1915 he was nominated as an associate professor of hygiene and bacteriology. In 1920, he was appointed full professor of bacteriology at the University of Warsaw. For the rest of his life, he was associated with the research center in Warsaw. He died on 29 March 1943. Roman Nitsch’s scientific activity, which mainly involved his research on vaccination against rabies, is a significant contribution to the development of Polish medical microbiology. The analysis of Roman Nitsch’s scientific achievements proves that he was a continuator of Ludwik Pasteur’s and Odon Bujwid’s - his predecessor and teacher - research thought, as well as the author of pioneering works that shed new light on the world of microbes, which was then only gradually being discovered.

The thesis presents the analysis of the oral immunization effectiveness, taking cognizance of wild foxes. The preventive measures conducted 15 years ago have significantly contributed to the substantial decline in the number of verified cases of rabies among wild and domestic animals. Despite the fact, that aforementioned measures have been generating high costs covered by the state’s founds, they dramatically reduced the risk of epizootic danger, thus epidemiological risks. Undertaken actions also led to the dynamic growth of population of foxes, which resulted in a kind of disruption of natural ecological system concerning the ‘predator – prey’ relation, therefore they have indirectly contributed to the deepening of the already ongoing contraction of the basic small animals.

Nietoperze to druga co do wielkości grupa ssaków. Mogą być one wektorami wielu wirusów stanowiących poważne zagrożenie dla człowieka. Do szczególnie niebezpiecznych należą wirusy Hendra i Nipah (Paramyxoviridae) i wirus wścieklizny (Rhabdiviridae). Nietoperze są odporne na większość z tych patogenów, a wirusy śmiertelne dla innych ssaków wywołują u nich jedynie bezobjawowe zakażenia. Do wyjątków należy wirus wścieklizny, jednak i on nie zabija od razu nietoperzy. U zwierząt tych stwierdzono również występowanie wirusów: wirusa żółtej febry, wirusa bardzo podobnego do SARS-CoV, wirusa Kren Canyon nietoperzy oraz wirusa Mount Elgon nietoperzy. Nie wiadomo dlaczego nietoperze są tak odporne na różnego rodzaju patogeny (nie tylko wirusowe). W chwili obecnej trwają badania nad układem immunologicznym tych zwierząt, o którym wciąż wiadomo bardzo niewiele.

Bats are the second most numerous group of mammals. They can be the vectors for many viruses, which pose serious threats for human. Hendra and Nipah (Paramyxoviridae) viruses and rabies (Rhabdoviridae) virus are especially dangerous. Bats are resistant to the most of these pathogens, and diseases that are lethal for other mammals, and cause asymptomatic infections in bats, excepting rabies. Mentioned diseases and viruses do not kill them immediately. Other viruses that have been found in bats are: yellow fever virus, similar to SARS-CoV, and Kern Canyon and Mount Elgon viruses. It is unknown, why bats are so immune to various pathogens (not only viral). Currently, research of bats immunity system is still under way.
