Man's attempts to learn about aspects of the human body and its
functions by observation and study of animals are to be found
throughout history, especially at times and in cultures where the
human body was considered sacrosanct, even after death. This book
describes the origins and later development, especially in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, of comparative medicine and
its interrelationship with medicine and veterinary medicine and the
efforts of its practitioners to understand and control outbreaks of
infectious, epidemic diseases in humans and in domestic animals. In
the nineteenth century their efforts and increasing professionalism
led to the creation of specialised institutes devoted to the study
of comparative medicine. This book sheds much new light on the
medical and veterinary history of this period and will provide a
new perspective on the history of bacteriology. Historians of
science will find the book of great value.
