Carl Wedl

Carl Wedl (October 14, 1815 - September 21, 1891) was an Austrian pathologist who was a native of Vienna. He practiced medicine in Salzburg, and was later a professor at the University of Vienna. Some of his well-known students were Heinrich Auspitz (1834-1885), Moritz Kaposi (1837-1902) and Salomon Stricker (1834-1898).

Wedl is remembered for his work in microscopic pathology and histology. He made several contributions in the field of helminthology, and there are a number of parasitic species that are named after him, including Didymocystis wedli and Ascaris wedli. He also did extensive study in dermatology and ophthalmology, including his work concerning glaucoma. The eponymous Wedl cells are named after him, which are dysplastic bladder-like fibers in the corneal tissue of the eye.

Wedl was the author of numerous books, a few which have been translated into English.
