William Budd was an English physician and epidemiologist known for his contributions to the understanding of infectious diseases. He identified the contagious nature of these diseases, highlighting how “poisons” causing infection could multiply in the intestines of the sick and spread through contaminated water. Budd’s research, inspired by John Snow, concentrated on diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever. His work influenced modern epidemiology and public health by stressing the significance of sanitation and disease prevention.
