The observations are precisely located within the district’s streets and building blocks, documenting low-level infection outside the principal plague season. Bombay, now Mumbai, was first struck by the Third Plague Pandemic in 1896 and remained an important centre for research into the persistence and seasonal recurrence of bubonic plague. The map is both a detailed plan of the historic Fort district and an early example of continuous urban disease surveillance, linking human cases with the underlying rat epizootic. 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":53776273899867,"sku":"P-6-112089","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112089a.jpg?v=1786635306","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-fort-north-south-bombay-august-1906-dot-map-1911-p-6-112089","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
