- Abstract
Gérard Orth, a respected scientist in the field of biology and medicine, made significant contributions to the study of viral and host determinants of health and disease, particularly in relation to papillomaviruses. He worked at prestigious institutions such as the Institut Pasteur and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. Orth's career was influenced by his upbringing in Alsace and his admiration for figures like Louis Pasteur and Charles de Gaulle. The text also mentions other individuals and their contributions to virology research, including Pierre Lépine and his invention of the French poliomyelitis vaccine. It concludes with an obituary for Gérard Orth, highlighting his work on epidermodysplasia verruciformis and the discovery of human papillomaviruses, as well as his personality traits and personal life.
