Early life and education Marek was born on March 18, 1868, in the village then known as Vágszerdahely, Nyitra County in the Kingdom of Hungary (today Horná Streda in Slovakia). Following his elementary education, Marek completed his secondary education at the gymnasium at Nagyszombat (now Trnava, Slovakia). Marek attended the only veterinary school in Hungary, the Royal Hungarian Veterinary School in Budapest, from September 1, 1889, to November 5, 1892, when he graduated with a rarely awarded high mark. After Marek's graduation, the veterinary school in Budapest was renamed as the Royal Hungarian Veterinary College.

Career Marek began his veterinary career in Pest, Hungary, where he was chief veterinarian from 1892 to 1894. In 1897, Marek was offered a position at the veterinary college in Budapest as a clinical assistant, equivalent to an adjunct professor. As it was required that teachers at the veterinary college held an advanced qualification, at the behest of his superiors, Marek went to the University of Bern in Switzerland in May 1897 to study for his doctorate, which he was awarded in April 1898. In May 1898, Marek went to the University of Vienna in Austria, and spent a few months studying diagnostic techniques and saw patients at the clinic there. In January 1901, Marek took up the position of Director of Internal Medicine at the veterinary college in Budapest, a position he held until, approaching the age limit for working at the university, he retired on September 1, 1935. In 1907, Marek published the first account of a poultry disease, in a paper entitled Multiple Nervenentzündung (Polyneuritis) bei Hühnern (Multiple inflammation of the nerves [polyneuritis] in chickens). This disease was later named Marek's disease. In the birds examined by Marek, the signs of the disease appeared in the nervous…Citește mai mult

Awards and recognition Marek was a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, first as an ordinary member, then an honorary member and also department chairman. The University of Leipzig awarded Marek an honorary doctorate in 1930. In December 1931, the Budapest Royal Medical Association (Budapesti Királyi Orvosegyesület) awarded the Balassa Prize to Marek for his work on rickets. In 1949, Marek was awarded the Kossuth Prize. Mark continued to be recognized posthumously. Two busts of Marek have been installed in Budapest. The first, created in 1954 by Ferenc Medgyessy, is at the veterinary school. The second, by Judit Englert in 1978, is at the ministry of agriculture. In 1964, the agricultural vocational school at Mohács in Hungary was renamed in honor of Marek as the Dr. Marek József Mezőgazdasági Szakközépiskolában. A new building was inaugurated at the school in 1975, and a bust of Marek, sculpted by István Szabó, Jr., was unveiled in front of the building. The school has since closed. During renovation of the school buildings in 2017, the bust was stolen from where it had been placed for safe keeping. The student hostel at the Budapest veterinary college was named in honor of Marek when it…Citește mai mult
