Measles
The epidemic Bogoras watched. Brought from Vladivostok by a Russian trader in 1899, north through the summer of 1900 into the Chukchee villages and camps, over to America in 1901; several thousand dead in all (1-062, 1-063).
The mortality is a virgin-soil epidemic's, and Bogoras's explanation is the clinical one: it “requires the utmost caution against colds during convalescence, and the conditions of arctic life make this practically impossible.” No Chukchee name given — see Small-pox on the class.
