The more dispersed plotted observations record the waning phase of the city’s principal 1906 outbreak while identifying residual infection within the street plan of the historic Fort district, now central Mumbai. The Third Plague Pandemic had reached Bombay in 1896 and produced repeated seasonal epidemics across India. Mapping rats and human cases together enabled investigators to study how long infection persisted locally and how closely human disease followed rat epizootics. 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":53776273834331,"sku":"P-6-112087","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112087a.jpg?v=1786635306","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-fort-north-south-bombay-june-1906-dot-map-1911-p-6-112087","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
