Daniel Elmer Salmon (1850-1914) was a veterinary surgeon. He worked for the State of New York, studying diseases in swine and for the United States Department of Agriculture studying animal diseases in the southern states. In 1883 he was asked to establish a veterinary division within the Department of Agriculture. It became the Bureau of Animal Industry and he served as its chief from 1884 to 1905. Under his leadership, the Bureau eradicated contagious pleural-pneumonia of cattle in the United States, studied and controlled Texas fever (Babesia), put in place the federal meat inspection program, began inspecting exported livestock and the ships carrying them, began inspecting and quarantining imported livestock, and studied the effect of animal diseases on public health. He gave his name to the Salmonella genus of bacteria, which were discovered by his research assistant, Theobald Smith in 1855 and named in his honor. He died of pneumonia in 1914 at the age of 64.
