Investigation of the complex issues surrounding the links between
bovine tuberculosis and infected meat - with a contemporary
resonance in the BSE scare. By the late 1890s, the question of
bovine tuberculosis (TB) and infected meat had become one of
national importance, reflecting a national sense of fear. Although
the extent of the threat to health proved uncertain, bovine TB
hadcome to stand at the centre of debates about diseased meat and
public health. The anxiety it caused was part of a longer story,
linked to concern over food safety, changes in how tuberculosis was
understood, and to worries over diseased meat and the 'evils' of
the urban meat trade. The Bovine Scourge explores the debates and
fears that came to surround bovine TB, meat and public health
between the 1860s and 1914. It traces how diseased meat and bovine
TB emerged as a public health issue, examines the measures adopted
to protect the public, and addresses how by the Edwardian era milk
had become the major source of concern in discussion of bovine TB.
It also raises important questions about the history of food
safety, the concerns generated by diseased meat, and the role of
the public health and veterinary profession in preventing the sale
of contaminated food. KEIR WADDINGTON is a senior lecturerin the
School of History and Archaeology at Cardiff University.
