Dates attached to individual observations allow the local sequence of infection to be reconstructed, including a human case identified as imported from outside the village. The map demonstrates how investigators combined animal and human evidence to trace bubonic plague at household level. This work was undertaken during the Third Plague Pandemic, which reached Bombay in 1896 and caused recurrent epidemics across India. 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":53776274096475,"sku":"P-6-112097","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112097a.jpg?v=1786635307","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-bombay-sion-village-bhandarwada-agarwada-dot-map-1911-p-6-112097","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
