It records continued but changing epidemic activity as the major 1906 outbreak approached its decline, with individual observations located throughout the streets and commercial blocks of the historic Fort district. Bombay, now Mumbai, had been the Indian entry point of the Third Plague Pandemic in 1896. The resulting investigations established a close relationship between plague among rats, infected rat fleas and subsequent human illness. This detailed disease map preserves both the urban geography of colonial Bombay and the developing methods of modern epidemiological surveillance. 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":53776273801563,"sku":"P-6-112086","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112086a.jpg?v=1786635306","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-fort-north-south-bombay-may-1906-dot-map-1911-p-6-112086","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
