Discoveries

On January 28, 1860 Zenker discovered a trichinosis with a girl who had died in a Dresden hospital. He thus demonstrated first that trichinae, which had been held for more or less harmless parasite since the mid- 1830s, could cause serious, even fatal diseases and people often infested.

After Zenker diverticulum of the pharynx is named.
