The outbreak was recognised after a dead rat was reported in a building in Koliwada, and the map locates subsequent observations within the village’s houses and lanes. It documents the opening stage of an intensively monitored local epizootic during the Third Plague Pandemic, which had reached Bombay in 1896. Investigators used such house-level evidence to examine how rat infection preceded and generated danger to people through infected fleas. The map is an important early example of detailed field epidemiology and spatial disease 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":53776274162011,"sku":"P-6-112092","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112092a.jpg?v=1786635308","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-bombay-sion-village-jan-feb-1906-cases-dot-map-1911-p-6-112092","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
