It distinguishes premises in which infected rats or plague deaths demonstrated infection from houses that remained apparently unaffected, thereby showing both the progress and the limits of the local epizootic. Investigators observed that infection moved slowly through the rat population and failed to reach some neighbouring buildings. Produced during the Third Plague Pandemic, which had affected Bombay since 1896, the map is an early and unusually detailed attempt to define an epidemic spatially at household level. 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":53776273998171,"sku":"P-6-112095","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112095a.jpg?v=1786635307","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-bombay-sion-village-plague-cases-dot-map-1911-p-6-112095","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
