He wrote a popular work on typhus, Rats, Lice, and History (1935); several textbooks, including Infection and Resistance (1914; 4th ed. rev., Resistance to Infectious Disease, 1931; 5th ed. rev., Immunity, 1939); and the autobiographical As I Remember Him (1940).Zinsser, Hans(1878–1940) physician, bacteriologist, author; born in New York City.

Thereafter he was affiliated with Columbia's (1913–23) and Harvard's (1923–40) medical schools. He observed the typhus epidemic in Serbia in 1915 and an epidemic in Russia in 1923.
