III. Bp., 1967—1976. SUMMARY The historiography of medical terminology has not created yet its comprehensive etymological dictionary. The history of the terminology of illnesses, however seems to be an especially neglected field of research. The present article — as a small step to full this gap — attempts to give a complete list of illnesses named after animals. The collection — arranged in alphabetical order of the Latin or commonly used Hungarian names — consists of more than 150 items. Entries include the first appearance of the name, a short historical explanation of the word or expression and an etymological note, respectively. According to the author this group of termini represents perhaps the most ancient stratum of the medical vocabulary.
