 | | Plague in Sicily in 1743.An outbreak of plague at Messina in 1743 is important, not only for its fatality, but as one of the strongest cases in favor of the theory of imported contagion. | | | The Bombay Plague Research Committee, whose experience is unequalled, say: Irl a number of instances points of inoculation were found on the extremities of patients, from which plague cultures were obtained, and in these cases buboes were found above the point of inoculation. | | | According to the Plague Research Committee of Bombay, the predisposing causes are those leading to a lower state of vitality, of which insufficient food is probably the most important. |

| | Bubonic Plague: Yesterday's Scourge--and Tomorrow's? |
| | Before the more effective drugs were developed, sulfadiazine was used with some success to treat plague, and even now it is used if the appropriate antibiotics are not available or if they are in short supply. | | | Despite such precautions, however, the ease and speed of global travel have created a situation where any communicable disease is likely to escape its place of origin. | | | Where pneumonic plague, the most virulent form of the disease, is concerned, if treatment is begun after that twenty-four hour window has closed, the antibiotics will do no good. |

| | And, of course, the armed guards outside plague houses were focused on keeping the miserable suffering people in line, and not so much on noticing if any rats were passing through. | | | Without treatment, half the people infected with plague will die (with treatment, that number drops to one in 10). | | | While this approach did help slow the spread of disease to a certain extent, it likely also resulted in thousands of additional deaths among those who were infected and their families, since the quarantine rules didn't include provisions for things like "feeding the people inside." |

| | Champion applies computer-assisted techniques to explore the complex relationship between death, class and location in the City of London during the plague. | | | This analysis challenges the commonplace assumption that 'plague' simply affected the poor and undermines historical confidence in identifying the disease as 'bubonic plague'. | | | However, the historian Paul Slack says that, while it should not be used as a source for the events of 1665, Defoe's account represents a watershed in historical understanding of the issues and social realities of the plague experience. |

| | Other symptom patterns of the bubonic plague, such as septicemic plague and pneumonic plague were also present. | | | The disease is generally believed to have been bubonic plague, an infection by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, transmitted via a rat vector. | | | This event seems to have effectively stopped the plague outbreak, probably due to the destruction of London rats and their plague-carrying fleas. |

| | So horrific were the symptoms, which included psychological and neurological meltdown as well as the telltale glandular swellings and dark skin blotches, that, as Porter relates, it was considered fortunate to die of another disease. | | | Before examining the Great Plague, disaster specialist Porter (The Great Fire of London, not reviewed, etc.) describes the impact of earlier epidemics that had repeatedly swept across Europe in the previous three centuries, affecting not just social and economic life but beliefs, literature, and art. | | | The text, however is probably a good starting point but is not the definitive work on the Great Plague. |

| | Great Plague definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms | | | The word "pestilence" comes from "pestis," the Latin word for "plague." Because the plague was responsible for so many deaths, the plague and death have long been linked in literature. | | | Transmission of the plague to people can also occur from eating infected animals such as squirrels (e.g., in the southeastern U.S.) Once someone has the plague, they can transmit it to another person via aerosol droplets. |

| | The book also details how the Restoration government was woefully unprepared for dealing with the plague; an epilogue on the development of microbiology and antibiotic cures forcefully argues that modern society still needs to be better prepared for future infectious diseases. | | | Although the epidemic had a devastating effect on the city's economy and social fabric, as well as on those who lived through it, the city continued to function and the activities of daily life went on. | | | Lloyd (Rutgers U.), a specialist in 17th-century European history, and Dorothy C., a retired medical researcher, investigate how Londoners lived through the Great Plague of 1665, the resources they drew on, how they decided whether to stay on or try to escape to the countryside, how they maintained a semblance of normality, and other questions. |
