Antonio Carini
Antonio Carini (1872–1950) was an Italian physician, bacteriologist and professor. He worked in the public health services of São Paulo, Brazil for over forty years. Carini showed that rabies of herbivores could be transmitted by bats, and discovered a parasitic fungus (Pneumocystis carinii, now known as P. jirovecii), which causes pneumocystosis.
