miasm

Rats, however, are commonly infected as if by a miasm before the disease appears in man.

These lakes are usually full of vegetable matter undergoing decomposition, and which produces large quantities of miasm.

Happily the subterranean miasm at Nanking did not affect animals that live above ground.

All over Europe the people fear a current of air as if veritable miasm must lurk in it.

The miasm in the latter case is therefore endoecic, or more exactly entoichic.
