Epidemiology and the Pacific Labor Trade

The mortality associated with the Pacific labor trade and the transfer of diseases is examined. This article has presented time-series data from 1879 to 1953 on the death rates of the Pacific island migrants who were involved in the Pacific labor trade and examined the disease-specific death rates of bacillary dysentery influenza-pneumonia and tuberculosis new diseases to which Pacific islanders lacked immunity. The geographical focus is on Queensland Australia; Fiji; Papua New Guinea; New Hebrides; and the Solomon Islands. (EXCERPT)
