Abstract

As their cities grew, the English and Japanese had both avoided the tendency towards a rapid rise in diseases of the stomach due to infected food and drink. Yet there are other diseases which normally increase in virulence as populations grow more dense. One such set consists of those in which the bacteria are transmitted by way of insect vectors. Three of the most common and deadly of these diseases are plague, typhus and malaria.
