VELEZ VILLAQUIRAN, LUZ AMPARO. Dysentery Epidemic in Cali, 1809-1810. Social and Demographic Consequences. Front. hist. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp.162-194. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.612.
In the first decade of the 19th century the inhabitants of Cali suffered an epidemic of dysentery that decimated its most vulnerable population. In this article, we seek to describe a demographic cridetected from the curves of deaths obtained from the burial books of the San Pedro de Cali parish. A significant finding was that this contagion affected mainly children and the caste population, among with the size of the families, especially of pardos and montañeses.
