“…TB control plans should include speciWc policies and valid analytical system to ensure the prompt identiWcation, triage, and referral or management of animal with suspected or conWrmed TB disease, and measures should be taken to minimise the risk for transmission of organisms of the M. tuberculosis complex. The unsuccessful eradication plans may be related to the relaxation of cattle testing and to spillover of infection to badgers, deer and farm cats and dogs (Hancox, 2002). Because the disease in cattle may not be clinically evident, even in advanced stages, diagnosis is made upon skin testing, post mortem examination and cultural and biochemical testing (Vitale et al, 1998).…”

“…This fear also led to the adoption of new legislation to prevent the spread of TB in the population. Although milk was prescribed by Hippocrates for treatment, before the end of the 19 th and the beginning of the 20 th century, doctors advocated the introduction of mandatory pasteurization of milk in the United States, because it was known that bovine TB was transmitted to humans (25). At the beginning of the 20 th century, an average of up to 10% of TBinfected people was registered in the United States as a result of consuming infected cow's milk.…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease, and throughout human history, it has been permanently opening numerous medical and legal questions, for which the answers are implied by the current social circumstances. In ancient times, insufficient knowledge of the etiopathogenesis of TB resulted in discrimination and isolation of patients. In the Middle Ages, kings used TB as a disease to secure their political power over the citizens, while TB culturally took a romanticized form during the 19th and 20th centuries, together with a great social phobia of contagion, disease, and dying on the other hand. Stereotypes were formed around all TB victims, while society tried to understand the nature of the disease and establish a civilizational relationship with it as a health problem having numerous social implications. Modern public health measures for the control of the TB pandemic were established after the discovery of the Koch bacillus in the 19th century. The invention and mass use of the BCG vaccine, the discovery of streptomycin and isoniazid, and the new era of TB treatment, with the consequent emergence of drug resistance, coepidemic with AIDS, neglect of public health facilities and the current COVID-19 pandemics threaten many legal rights of the infected and the sick and pose new challenges in its global elimination. Numerous attempts by society over the centuries to devise preventive and therapeutic measures for TB, through different levels of social obligations and activities, have had and continue to have a profound impact on the human race, shaping its further response to the victims of this deadly disease.

“…Nocard havia comunicado ao 13 o Congresso Internacional de Higiene ter conseguido tuberculinizar vitelos por meio de injeções intravenosas de bacilos de tuberculose humana (Nocard apud Godinho, 1903). 1 Enquanto isso, em um erro que demorou 15 anos para ser retificado, conforme a avaliação de Hancox (2002), Koch teria asseverado no mesmo evento a diversidade da tuberculose bovina e humana e que o uso de carnes e leite de animais tuberculosos era inócuo, devendo ser abandonadas as medidas profiláticas empregadas até então (Koch apud Carvalho, 1903b;Koch apud Azevedo, 1903).…”

Can human beings get tuberculosis from the milk taken from cows infected with tuberculosis? Are the diagnosis and control of cattle tuberculosis effective for the protection of human populations? Questions such as these were the main concern of doctors from São Paulo at the beginning of the twentieth century. The present study tried to recover elements from the polemic that took place in São Paulo, in order to encourage the coming up of complementary facts about such matter. The article presents some indicators of confronting positions: on one hand, the goal of intensying the control of tuberculosis among the cattle; on the other hand, the attempt not to bring up any loss to national cattle raisers through the demand of additional precaution measures, which would affect the production and distribution of their products. Medical publications kept records of the interventions, which have allowed the author to identify the first position as the stronger one, which has brought up relevant consequences for the sanitary food control.
