Deadly deadliest diseases in history

The history of all deadly diseases is always full of both horror and mystery. These diseases have terrified and killed millions of human beings. The most common deadly diseases are typhoid, smallpox, measles, mumps and many more. Here we will share some interesting facts about deadly deadliest diseases in history so that you can have a better idea about their origin and description.

Black Death

This illness is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and is spread through fleas that bite infected mammals. The Black Death first appeared in China around 1330 AD, and spread to Europe in 1347. In Europe, it killed between 25 and 60 percent of the population within just three years. It arrived in North America three years later.

The Black Death was not a single disease but instead caused symptoms such as a high fever, headache, loss of appetite, weakness, insomnia, chills, muscle pain and vomiting. People with weakened immune systems were especially vulnerable to this illness because their bodies could not fight off the bacteria or prevent them from spreading throughout their body.

In addition to its devastation on humans, this pandemic had an impact on society at large due to economic hardship caused by its spread across Europe and Asia. Historians note that this pandemic may have contributed to the Renaissance period by giving rise to new scientific theories about disease transmission and how to treat it

Bubonic plague

The Black Death, also known as the Black Plague, was a pandemic and one of the first recorded outbreaks of the bubonic plague. It began in China in 1334 and spread to other parts of Asia and Europe. Its effects were so devastating that it is considered one of the most significant events in human history.

The pandemic was later named after the town of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), where it reached its highest mortality rate. The disease had significant political impacts as well, with many rulers losing power during its outbreak.

Since then, there have been several other outbreaks of the plague including an 1894 epidemic in Bombay, India; an 1896 epidemic in Hong Kong; and a number of smaller ones throughout history.

The disease is caused by Yersinia pestis, a bacterium transmitted to humans by fleas that have fed on infected rodents or animals such as cats or dogs. Symptoms include sudden fever, chills, weakness and loss of appetite (co-infection with typhus may occur).

Plague of Justinian

There are many deadly diseases in history. These diseases have caused many deaths around the world, and people are still suffering from them today.

The first deadly disease to be discovered was plague of Justinian. This disease was spread by rats, fleas and other rodents. In 541 AD, a new form of bubonic plague was discovered by a monk named Faustus who lived in Constantinople (now Istanbul). He died on June 22, 542 when he became ill with this new type of plague.

The second deadly disease that was discovered was smallpox. It was spread by humans who were infected with cowpox virus or variola virus. Smallpox is marked by fever, headache, backache and sore throat that starts with small pimples on the face or neck then turns into scabs that leave scars on the skin.

The third deadly disease is tuberculosis (TB) which originated from consumption (tuberculosis) in cattle herds in Europe during the Middle Ages. It has become epidemic in countries like India and China but it is no longer prevalent here in America since antibiotics were used to treat it way back then.
