Cholera
“I added a speck to the clear water just before leaving the laboratory late in the summer afternoon. Next afternoon, to my extreme astonishment the whole column of water in one jar was faintly opalescent. I microscoped a drop. It teemed with myriads of cholera germs, the progeny of my speck the day before” – Sir Charles Scott Sherrington
