Manceaux's life is not well known, but he was physician-scientist recruited by Charles Nicolle to study at the Pasteur Institute of Tunis.[3] He assisted Nicolle with capturing gundi in the Djerid Desert to study a parasite associated with a disease known as oriental sore in North Africa.[3] The parasite observed in the tissue samples rodents was originally named Leishmania gondii in 1908.[4] Upon further analysis, they concluded that the parasite was a newly discovered genus, so it was renamed to Toxoplasma gondii in 1909. After his discovery, Manceaux served as a French military doctor and was on active duty with medical corps during World War I.[5] After retiring from the Army, he went on to work for the Pastuer Intstitute of Paris and practice medicine in Paris.[5]
