The history of the study by modern methods of the epidemiology of plague may be said to date from the discovery of B. pestis by Yersin and Kitasato in 1894. The severe outbreaks which since then have yearly recurred, notably in Bombay and Hongkong, have offered a wide field for investigation. That the opportunities thus afforded have not been neglected is sufficiently shown in the statement that in Bombay alone no fewer than six scientific commissions devoted their attention to various aspects of the disease within a few years. In addition, epidemics have been investigated in many places throughout the world.
