FACTORS OF CHOLERA DEVELOPMENT AND DISSEMINATION IN THE TOWN OF SARATOV (LATE 19TH – EARLY 20TH CENTURIES)
Abstract
The territorial spread of cholera in the territory of the town of Saratov in the late 19th – early 20th centuries was analyzed retrospectively. It was found that landscape-geomorphologic and sanitary and environmental conditions supported the reproduction of cholera vibrio in the town. During the epidemics of 1892 and 1910 the highest density of disease cases was recorded in the area of urban ravines. This fact indicates that the hotbeds of cholera are landscape-dependent.
