The 1894 Hong Kong plague, part of the third plague pandemic, was a major outbreak of the bubonic plague in Hong Kong. While the plague was harshest in 1894, it returned annually between 1895 and 1929, and killed over 20,000 in total, with a fatality rate of more than 93%. The plague was a major turning point in the history of colonial Hong Kong, as it forced the colonial government to reexamine its policy towards the Chinese community, and invest in the wellbeing of the Chinese.

Si bien la peste fue más dura en 1894, regresó anualmente entre 1895 y 1929, y mató a más de 20 000 en total, con una tasa de mortalidad de más del 93%. La plaga fue un importante punto de inflexión en la historia de la Hong Kong colonial, ya que obligó al gobierno colonial a reexaminar su política hacia la comunidad china e invertir en el bienestar de los chinos.

  • 1894年香港鼠疫(英語:Hong Kong Plague of 1894)是19世紀末至20世紀初“鼠疫第三次全球大流行”中的一次重要爆發。1894年5至10月,在香港大流行的鼠疫導致2000人以上喪生,三分之一的人口逃離香港。此後至1926年的30年間,鼠疫幾乎每年都在香港出現,總共導致超過2萬人死亡。通過香港的海上交通,源於中國雲南的這次鼠疫大流行在1894年以後輾轉傳播各地,最終遍及全球所有有人類居住的各大洲。另一方面,細菌學家在1894年首次在香港分辨出導致鼠疫的病源體鼠疫桿菌,為防治鼠疫開始了重要的一步。 (zh)
