“…By the 18th century, quarantine was a widespread norm of surveillance throughout major European port cities, and state-regulated disease surveillance seemed to have successfully decreased the occurrence of major plague outbreaks in Europe (5,47). Following the Eastern European epidemics of 1702 to 1713, the Austrian Empire established a cordon sanitaire, which was fully enforced by 1770 and spanned from the Adriatic Sea to Transylvania to avoid entry of plague from the Ottoman Empire, with which they had been at war since the 16th century (48). By the time that the Austrian cordon sanitaire started to disintegrate, the Ottoman Empire had established nationwide quarantine measures for the first time following the Napoleonic Wars (1803 to 1815) (5,48,49).…”

By the time that the Austrian cordon sanitaire started to disintegrate, the Ottoman Empire had established nationwide quarantine measures for the first time following the Napoleonic Wars (1803 to 1815) (5,48,49). These measures coupled with improved living conditions, medical care, and hygiene therefore could, to some extent, account for progressive European isolation from plague starting with the 17th century, assuming the source of plague was not situated in Western Europe.…”

“…Moreover, there were the enclosed smaller stations that played the role of local markets called Rastel and also several watchhouses (Tschardak). The three quarantines in Banat were located in Pancsowa, Mehadia, and Schuppanek(Mehadia and Jupalnic 14 belong nowadays to Romania, Pančevo to Serbia) and the Rastel areas in Kubin, Homoliza, Ujpalanka/Neu Palanka, Moldowa, Svinitza, and Alt Orschowa 15 (Kovin, Omoljica, and Banatska Palanka are now in Serbia, Moldova Veche, Șvinița and Orșova are in Romania). The guarding of the sanitary cordon was made through the permanent patrolling of the border guards between the watchhouses, whose efforts were supplemented by the patrolling boats of Tschaikisten on the Danube.…”

“…To prevent the entry of contagion, sanitary cordons (literally a ring of armed soldiers guarding against entry of diseased persons) and quarantines were used in France, Britain, Austria, German, Russia, and other European and Asian nations from the 14th through 19th centuries. 13 By the mid-1800s, in response to devastating cholera and plague epidemics imported into Europe from Turkey and Egypt, and the economic burdens created by different national quarantine systems, European nations with the strongest commercial or colonial interests began to engage in international cooperation. 14 These efforts included attempts to harmonize quarantine policies, a process aided by the emergence of the germ theory of disease in the late 19th century.…”
