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.
