英语词汇bang-s disease的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Bang’s disease; Brucellosis. These are names for what is probably the most diversely named disease—it is called, vari- ously, undulant fever, Malta fever, Gibraltar fever, rock fever, Mediterranean fever, and goat fever. Its cause, an infectious bacteria called Brucella, was discovered in 1887 when Scottish physician Sir David Bruce (1855–1931) performed an autopsy on a patient who had died of the illness on the island of Malta. Later, Danish veterinarians Bernhard L. F. Bang and V. Stribolt isolated a second strain of Brucella and in 1895 found that it caused a disease in cattle, which was called Bang’s disease in that scientist’s honor. Bang’s disease, the name still used for the infection, is thought to have been responsible for the epizootic disease or storms of abortions that commonly occurred in American and European cattle herds in the early 19th century. Scientifically speaking, all diseases caused by Brucella bacteria are termed brucellosis. The disease affects not only cattle and goats but swine, chickens, dogs, cats, wild deer, and bison as well. It is usually contracted by humans from contact with in- fected animals or by ingesting infected milk, and is sometimes fatal. No complete cure is known for infected animals, and the incidence of the disease is said to be on the rise throughout the world.
