Fifth cholera pandemic (1881–96)
The fifth cholera pandemic (1881–96) was the fifth major international outbreak of cholera in the 19th century starting in India. It spread throughout Asia and Africa, and reached parts of France, Germany, Russia, and South America. The 1892 outbreak in Hamburg, Germany was the only major European outbreak; about 8,600 people died in that city. Although many residents held the city government responsible for the virulence of the epidemic, it continued with practices largely unchanged. This was the last serious European cholera outbreak of the century.
Pope Leo XIII authorized the construction of a hospice inside the Vatican for afflicted residents of nearby Roman neighbourhoods. That building was torn down in 1996 to make way for construction of the Domus Sanctae Marthae.〔("Domus Sanctae Marthae & The New Urns Used in the Election of the Pope" ), ewtn.com, Retrieved February 10, 2009〕
==Scientific debate==
During the pandemic, Robert Koch isolated ''Vibrio cholerae'' and proposed postulates to explain how bacteria caused disease. His work helped to establish the germ theory of disease.
Prior to this time, many physicians believed the disease was caused by direct exposure to the products of filth and decay. Koch helped establish that the disease was more specifically contagious and was transmitted by exposure to the feces of an infected person, including through contaminated water supply.
