* Duclaux’s account was supported by the biography written by Pasteur’s son-in-law, René Vallery-Radot, but some modern scholars dispute it. In 1985, based on a thorough study of Pasteur’s notebooks, the French historian Antonio Cadeddu asserted an alternate history: Pasteur’s collaborator Roux determined the method for attenuation of chicken cholera through prolonged, deliberate laboratory experiment—without the knowledge of Pasteur.

* The superior technique of carbolic acid attenuation was devised by the veterinary researcher Henri Toussaint and perfected by Pasteur’s assistants, Roux and Charles Chamberland, after Pasteur had already announced the creation of attenuated anthrax using temperature manipulation.

† The Koch group, which relied on different culture methods than did the Pasteur laboratory, doubted the particulars of Pasteur’s thermal method of attenuation.
