India Delhi Calcutta Madras Bombay Potential Spread of Pnuemonic Plague out of India, 1994
Pneumonic Plague in India • Indian outbreak was a complete surprise – no plague confirmed in India since 1966 • Clinical and lab diagnosis were confused • Media and panic driven epidemic • First epidemic to impact globalization • Caused huge economic loss for India (> $3 billion)
