| Sumario: | An historical case study of the impact of the Philippine insurrection against U.S. annexation, which began on February 4, 1899, and year-long period in its immediate aftermath, from March 1902 to February 1903, on the spread of cholera in the Philippine Islands is presented. Analysis reveals that a spatially contagious component dominated the spread of cholera in many geographical areas and at all spatial levels. Hierarchical diffusion, however, was generally found to be of only limited significance in the process of disease transmission. |
