Rinderpest disappears from the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem
node
Mass vaccination of cattle, which had acted as the reservoir, removed rinderpest from the ecosystem by about 1964. The virus had suppressed wildebeest and buffalo numbers for decades; its removal released the constraint and set up the population irruption that follows.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
