Zinsser taught as an exchange professor and worked with the [[American Red Cross]] in France, Russia, Serbia and China, and was noted for his work in [[typhus]] and [[immunology]]. He became a [[Lieutenant Colonel (United States Army)|lieutenant colonel]] in the [[US Army]] and served overseas during World War I. He was awarded the [[Distinguished Service Medal (U.S. Army)|Distinguished Service Medal]], the citation for which read as follows "For exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services-- while acting as Sanitation Inspector of the Second Army he organized, perfected and administered with extraordinary and exceptional success a plan of military sanitation and epidemic-disease control." Zinsser also received another military citation for taking exceptional risks to minister to wounded soldiers while under direct enemy fire. He was also awarded the [[Order of St. Sava]] of Serbia and the [[Legion of Honour]] in France.<ref name=zinsser/> |

Zinsser's scientific work focused on bacteriology and immunology and he is most associated with [[typhus]], especially the form called [[Brill–Zinsser disease]], his namesake. He isolated the typhus bacterium and developed a protective [[vaccine]]. He wrote several books about [[biology]] and bacteria, notably ''Rats, Lice and History'' (1935), a "biography" of typhus fever.<ref>Zinsser, Hans (1935), [https://books.google.com/books?id=deE1pov75sAC&q=%22rats,+lice+and+history%22 ''Rats, Lice, and History: Being a Study in Biography, Which, After Twelve Preliminary Chapters Indispensable for the Preparation of the Lay Reader, Deals With the Life History of Typhus Fever''] (Reprinted in 1963, 1996 ([[Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers]]), and 2007 ([[Transaction Publishers]]))</ref> Zinsser had a strong influence on the work of [[Albert Coons]] (1912–1978), who developed the technique of [[immunohistochemistry]].
