During his years of study in Switzerland and Germany, Adolpho Lutz published his first articles on zoology, clinical practice, and therapeutics. In Limeira, São Paulo, he began studies on animal and human diseases caused by germs and parasites. In 1885-86, Lutz traveled to Hamburg to study the morphology of germs related to skin diseases, in conjunction with Paul Gerson Unna, one of Germany's foremost dermatologists. He proposed the inclusion of Hansen's and Koch's bacilli in a new genus. In 1889, Unna nominated his student as physician-in-chief of the Leper Settlement on Molokai Island, Hawaii. From then on, Lutz sustained the theory that the disease was transmitted by mosquitoes. He conducted research to prove this theory when he was head of the Instituto Bacteriológico de São Paulo (1893-1908) and, later, after he moved to the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (1908-1940). Although this research was not successful, on commissions and at congresses in which he participated until his death in October 1940, he still held to his conviction that leprosy was transmitted by mosquitoes.

Conheci ADOLFO LUTZ, que foi meu professor de Zoologia médica no Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. É com emoção que recordo aquela época da minha vida. LUTZ tinha, então, setenta e. sete anos, possuía inteligência lúcida, memória extraordinária e incrível soma de saber. As preleções sôbre os temas versados eram apoiadas em grande contingente pessoal. Era notável a profundidade das observações e a precisão dos conceitos que expendia. Os meus apontamentos sôbre distribuição geográfica, taxínomia. morfologia e outros, estão entremeados de particularidades sôbre clínica, patogenia, terapêutica e profilaxia. As qualidades de biologista e de médico coexistiam com as de patologista e de higienista. Entrelaçava os ensinamentos entre a zoologia e a medicina através da parasítologia e da entomologia.[...]
