Bio/Historical Note: Dr. John Stevenson Fulton was born in Scotland and attended the University of Glasgow. He emigrated to Saskatchewan in 1913. He received a degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from McKillop Veterinary College in Chicago in 1918 and did postgraduate work in pathology, virology, and bacteriology at the Rush Medical School in Chicago in 1922. Dr. Fulton joined the University of Saskatchewan in 1926. Dr. Fulton’s most extensive work was done with equine encephalomyelitis, first recognizing that the disease was appearing in horses in Saskatchewan in 1935. He then proved that a disease in humans, previously diagnosed as non-paralytic poliomyelitis, was caused by the same virus as the equine disease. In 1938, during the encephalomyelitis epidemic, Dr. Fulton developed a vaccine for horses. It was manufactured at the University of Saskatchewan and distributed throughout western Canada. He later developed a purified vaccine for humans. Dr. Fulton was recognized as the foremost veterinary research scientist of his time in Western Canada. Dr. Fulton was director of the animal diseases laboratory and professor and head of the department of animal hygiene at the time of his retirement in 1958. Dr. Fulton died in Saskatoon in 1966.
