Disease carrier
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Carriers of disease)

"It is a curious fact that long before there could have been any knowledge concerning the dangerous character of rodents as carriers of disease, mankind dreaded and pursued these animals. Sticker has collected a great many references to this subject from ancient and mediaeval literature, and has found much evidence in the folklore of mediaeval Europe which points to the vague recognition of some connection between plague and rats."--Rats, Lice and History (1935) by Hans Zinsser |
