The pilgrimage began in October, and immediately cholera broke out among the pilgrims from Java, who came from the Far East. It became apparent that the pilgrims from Bukhara, who came from the north, were also infected with cholera. It was therefore likely that the pilgrimage would be a source of infection. On December 27th, the disease appeared in Mecca, and the Egyptian Protectorate found itself having to repel cholera attacks from the south, east, north, and west.

The cholera of 1837 came to the Egyptian Protectorate from European and North African ports. In addition, cholera had always come from the southeast, and its arrival coincided with the return of the pilgrims. This time, however, the cholera spread throughout Russia, extending to some European countries, and then reached the Egyptian Protectorate. The pilgrim quarantine station at El-Tor was established after the last epidemic in 1902. There is no doubt that the safety of the Protectorate is due to the efficient organization of this quarantine station under the care of Dr. Rover, President of the Health Council and Quarantine.

In order to protect the Protectorate from the danger of infection from Russia, Italy, Tripoli, Anatolia, and the Red Sea, all of which are close to the Egyptian coasts, the government, in addition to the measures recommended by the Health Council and Quarantine, decided to resume, with the assistance of this council, the supervision of travelers and emigrants that had been in place before. In mid-1910, regulations for this supervision were prepared, similar to those enacted by Central and Western European countries to prevent infection from Russia. Although these regulations were legally binding in the Egyptian Protectorate only on Ottoman subjects, they were extended to all people, with the assistance of foreign consuls. The Mixed Court of Appeal approved a set of regulations drafted in agreement with the Quarantine Council, which then became effective for everyone. At the same time, the French government invited other governments to hold a health conference in Paris in the coming May.

"42" - Scientific Research The accumulation of routine work and the shortage of staff in scientific institutes did not prevent the progress of scientific research, which was evident.

They continued to study the properties of animal serum used in the preparation of serum for the treatment of tetanus in the serum laboratory, which accelerated their work. They also monitored some cases of filariasis.
