Case OF Bubonic

After lapse of nearly year a
case of human plague occurred in
the city of New Orleans on the
9th of August. This case was con-
firmed as true bubonic plague on
September Sth. The epidemiolog-
ical Investigations as to the exact
source of the infectionhavenotyet
source of the infection have not yet
been completed but it is believed
that it was probably received in
the city of New Orleans. Up to
date over $1,000 buildings in that
city have been rat-proofed and
over 435,O0O rodents have been
captured in traps alone. The oc-
currence of this case demonstrates
the difficulties surrounding the
eradication of the disease and in
dicate that had it not been for the
active cooperative efforts of the
United States Public Health Ser
vice and of the Departments OF
Health of the State of Louisiana
and the city of New Orleans, the
outbreak would have reached
greater proportions and would
have been longer continued. 1t
