EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Edoardo Perroncito, an influential Italian physician, veterinarian, and parasitologist. In collaboration with Luigi Pagliani and Camillo Bozzolo, Perroncito made a groundbreaking discovery that forever changed our understanding of anaemia. It was their meticulous research that revealed hookworm (Anchylostoma duodenale) as the underlying cause of this debilitating condition among the laborers constructing Switzerland's St. Gotthard Railway. The image is sourced from "La Conquete Du Monde Invisible" by Giuseppe Penso, providing us with a glimpse into the rich history of scientific exploration during the 19th century. Draped in his white lab coat, Edoardo Perroncito gazes confidently at the camera, embodying both intellect and dedication to his field. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded of how far medical science has come since Perroncito's time. His work not only advanced our knowledge of parasitology but also paved the way for advancements in veterinary science. The intricate world of nematodes and parasites became unraveled under his expertise. This print serves as a testament to Perroncito's significant contributions to medicine and zoology while highlighting his role as a pioneering figure in scientific research. Through this lens into history, we honor his legacy as an accomplished physician-scientist who dedicated himself to unraveling nature's mysteries for the betterment of humanity
