A research study conducted by the University of Manchester explores the absence of the plague in Madras, India during the late 19th century. The study challenges the assumption that tropical environments are inherently vulnerable to disease, highlighting the role of specific urban environments in disease vulnerability and immunity. The research suggests that understanding the relationship between the etiology of epidemics and cities is crucial. Financial support for the study was provided by the British Academy. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Urban History. [Extracted from the article]
