!!!Cholera

Cholera: In the fight against the plague and cholera, which had mostly 
been brought in from Asia, many quarantine cordons were erected at the 
Turkish border in the 15%%sup th/%  century. In 1830 cholera was 
brought to Lower Austria from Russia via Galicia, reaching its peak in 
Vienna in the autumn of 1831. Before it ended in 1832 it claimed 2000 
victims in Vienna; Tyrol was not affected due to a medical cordon. One 
consequence of the epidemic was that the sewage system in Vienna was 
improved. Many civilian people in the northern parts of Lower Austria, 
Bohemia and Moravia were the victims of cholera 1866, after being 
infected by Prussian troops.
