Several important scientists made significant contributions to the control of tetanus. Arthur Nicolaier (1862-1942) discovered he tetanus bacterium in 1884. Three years later, while engaged in a study of disinfectants, German bacteriologist Emil von Behring noticed that the blood serum of tetanus-immune laboratory rats neutralized the anthrax bacteria. He set about isolating the substance that gave the rats resistance to the bacteria.
In the Berlin laboratory of scientist Robert Koch, Behring joined with Japanese bacteriologist Shibasaburo Kitasato, the first person to isolate the tetanus bacterium in pure culture in 1889. He later isolated and described the bacteria that cause diphtheria, anthrax, and Bubonic Plague. Behring and Kitasato discovered that the presence of tetanus and diphtheria toxins in blood cause the blood to produce antitoxins that neutralize the poisonous substances. When they injected small amounts of tetanus toxin into animals, the animals produced antitoxins, which gave them immunity from the disease. Furthermore, blood serum containing antitoxins extracted from these animals and injected it into other animals, gave the new animals immunity to tetanus, as well.They called this procedure "blood serum therapy."
Behring developed a way to produce antitoxin serum in guinea pigs, and later developed a toxin-antitoxin mixture which was an effective vaccine against tetanus. In 1893, French scientist, Pierre-Paul-Emile Roux (1853-1933), assistant to Louis Pasteur at the Pasteur Institute, developed improved procedures for using antitoxin serum to prevent as well as treat tetanus.

No, tetanus is an infectious disease.
Tetanus does not prevent a disease; it is a disease.
Do you mean who discovered tetanus?A Japanese bacteriologist Shibasaburo Kitasato discovered tetanus in 1889.
No, tetanus is not a genetic disease. It's a bacterial disease. You usually get tetanus from cutting yourself on rusty metal, as it is a prime home for the Clostridium tetani bacteria.
Tetanus
yes tetanus can be prevented
Lockjaw is another name for tetanus. They refer to the same disease.
Tetanus is a disease that affects the muscles and the respiratory system. The difference between tetanus and TIG or tetanus immunoglobulin is that the latter is a form of preventative vaccine for tetanus.
Tetanus is an acute disease that is why it is wise to be inoculated every 2 years.

No tetanus is an acute often fatal disease caused by a neurotoxin
Goats are the animals who most commonly contract tetanus.
