Rats are plotted with green dots and sentinel guinea-pigs with black crosses around the affected houses. Investigators concluded that all three patients probably acquired plague outside the village; in two instances, infection apparently arrived in clothing or with people and then spread locally to a guinea-pig or to rats. The map provides unusually detailed evidence of how plague could be imported into a community during the Third Plague Pandemic, which reached Bombay in 1896. 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":53776274260315,"sku":"P-6-112100","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112100a.jpg?v=1786635307","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-bombay-warli-worli-plague-cases-dot-map-1911-p-6-112100","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
