The bicentenary of John Snow's birth, a legend in his field, for his research on epidemiology and the prevention ofcholera, constitutes a unique opportunity to commemorate this iconic figure. In the article, his spectacular achievements in this discipline are presented, including his epidemiological investigation during cholera epidemic and the well-known Broad Street intervention in Soho, in 1854, as well as his methodologically elegant experiment "on the grandest scale" in which he compared the cholera fatality rates in households served by two different water supply companies. Having referred to Snow's research, the cholera outbreak in Haiti in 2010 is also discussed.
约翰·斯诺诞辰两百周年，他是该领域的传奇人物，在流行病学及霍乱预防研究方面成果斐然，这是纪念这位标志性人物的独特契机。本文介绍了他在这一学科的卓越成就，包括他在霍乱疫情期间的流行病学调查、1854年在苏豪区著名的宽街干预行动，以及他“规模宏大”且方法精妙的实验，即比较两家不同供水公司供水区域内家庭的霍乱死亡率。在提及斯诺的研究后，本文还讨论了2010年海地的霍乱疫情。
