Pasteur's gambit : Louis Pasteur, the Australasian rabbit plague & a ten million dollar prize

by Stephen Dando-Collins

This book explores the 1887 Australian competition for a biological cure to the rabbit plague, which attracted a bid from Louis Pasteur to fund his new institute. It details the scientific rivalry and political interference that thwarted the endeavour.
