'''Angelo Dubini''' (8 December 1813 – 28 March 1902) was an Italian physician born in [Milan](/source/Milan).

He earned his doctorate from the [University of Pavia](/source/University_of_Pavia) in 1837 and spent most of his professional career at the ''Ospedale Maggiore'' in [Milan](/source/Milan). In 1865 he became head physician and director of the hospital's [dermatology](/source/dermatology) department.

Dubini is remembered for his discovery of an [intestinal parasite](/source/intestinal_parasite) he named ''[Anchylostoma duodenale](/source/Ancylostoma_duodenale)''. He first noticed the parasite in 1838 during an [autopsy](/source/autopsy) of a peasant woman who died of croupous [pneumonia](/source/pneumonia). He would rediscover the parasite in the course of other autopsies in ensuing years. In 1843 he published his findings in ''Annali universali di medicina''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Dubini |first1=Angelo |title=Nuovo verme intestinale umano (''Agchylostoma duodenale''), costituente un sesto genere dei Nematoidei proprii dell’uomo |journal=Annali universali di medicina |date=1843 |volume=106 |pages=5-13 |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015062255602&seq=9 |trans-title=New human intestinal worm (''Ancylostoma duodenale''), constituting a sixth genus of the human nematoids |language=Italian}}</ref> The pathogenicity of the parasite was eventually confirmed by way of research of [Egyptian chlorosis](/source/Egyptian_chlorosis) conducted by [Wilhelm Griesinger](/source/Wilhelm_Griesinger), [Theodor Maximilian Bilharz](/source/Theodor_Bilharz) and [Franz Ignaz Pruner](/source/Franz_Ignaz_Pruner), as well as in [Otto Eduard Heinrich Wucherer](/source/O._E._H._Wucheria)'s study of tropical [chlorosis](/source/chlorosis_(medicine)) (which would probably be called [iron deficiency anemia](/source/iron_deficiency_anemia) today).

The term "Dubini's disease" is an historical name for the [myoclonic](/source/myoclonic) form of [epidemic encephalitis](/source/epidemic_encephalitis).<ref>[http://www.whonamedit.com/synd.cfm/1886.html Dubini's disease] @ [Who Named It](/source/Who_Named_It)</ref>
