EDITORS COMMENTS
In the face of the deadly plague epidemic that ravaged Asia in the early 20th century, Japan took remarkable and unprecedented measures to protect its population from infection. This photograph, taken in 1908, depicts some of the rigorous precautions taken in Tokyo to exterminate the microbe-carrying rats, believed to be the primary carriers of the bubonic plague. The photograph shows a scene at a quarantine station, where rats brought in from different districts are being sorted and labeled meticulously. The dead bodies of the rats are then dissected on the tables in the background to identify the presence of the plague microbes. The infectious disease was a serious threat, and no effort was spared to contain it. The Japanese authorities also took measures to prevent the rats from entering populated areas. Rat-proof zinc fences were erected around buildings and homes to keep the rodents at bay. The public health and science communities worked tirelessly to stop the spread of the disease, using the latest medical knowledge and technology to arrest the infection. India, too, was battling the plague at the same time. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the importance of public health measures in controlling the spread of infectious diseases. The image is a testament to the scientific and medical advancements of the time and the determination of governments and communities to protect their populations from the ravages of disease.
