The Geographical Diffusion of Epidemic Cholera in Eastern Africa, 1864-1871

Unrestricted

19th Century Diffusion Disease East Africa Map Public Domain Art Religion Transportation

Caption

A Map shewing the Geographical Diffusion of Epidemic Cholera in Eastern Africa 1864-1871

In Koch (2005), the caption is
“Christie’s map of cholera diffusion in East Africa. Sequential numbers are used in the text to describe the diffusion of the disease by caravan, religious pilgrimage, and sea routes.”

Summary

At the time this map was produced, expert opinion still attributed the spread of cholera to “bad air” and an “aerial highway”.
For example, based on geographical analysis, Dr Bryden of India’s Sanitary Commission claimed in his “Report on the General Aspects of Epidemic Cholera in 1869” that he had deduced the existence of an “aerial highway” carrying the disease across Africa (Koch, p 184).

In this map, which was published in 1876, the physician James Christie provides the contrary evidence in great detail. Christie also pointed out that earlier East African outbreaks (1836-1837, 1858-1959) had occurred in Arabian and Red Sea ports to and from which pilgrims to Mecca traveled.

Legend

“The track of the Epidemic is shewn by dots corresponding in numbers with the years thus …”.
That is, “65” indicates the year 1865.
