Zoonosis; zoonotic diseases Veterinary medicine Animals Medicine Anthrax Public health Journalism Disease and diseases Epidemics Bacteriology Medicine and society 19th century Milan (Italy) Italy

At the origins of the bacteriological debate, many paths cross medical and veterinary history all over Europe. Reading the "Annali Universali di Medicina," an Italian Journal published in Milan between 1817 and 1888, allows us to underline the perceived social role of Hygiene, the newborn medical specialty interpreting epidemics and zoonosis as consequences of wrongful economical, social and health politicies. In the issues of the "Annali" printed just before the unity of Italy, anthrax can be assumed as a paradigmatic model to reconstruct the scientific and medical debate about aethiopathogenesis of infectious diseases crossing the nineteenth century; its reflections in the printed journals and magazines pages (we particularly refer to) provides interesting informations about the public perception of medical theories concernig the concept of contagion, the idea that infectious diseases can derive from a bodily poisoning, the theory of poisonous fields, according to which animals can contract anthrax by simply herding in high nitrogen content soils.
