The human cases, shown as red points and dated individually, resulted in 21 deaths among a population of approximately 3,525. The detailed plan allows the relationship between infected houses, rat deaths and human illness to be studied across the village. Produced during the Third Plague Pandemic, which reached Bombay in 1896, it is a compelling early example of disease mapping used to investigate rat-flea transmission and the spatial behaviour of bubonic plague. Originally published in the Journal of Hygiene in 1907 and reissued by Cambridge University Press in 1911, this map formed part of the Indian plague investigations, which supplied systematic experimental and epidemiological proof of the rat–flea–human chain of infection in bubonic plague.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53776274227547,"sku":"P-6-112099","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112099a.jpg?v=1786635307","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-bombay-parel-village-human-rat-cases-dot-map-1911-p-6-112099","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
