Top 5 Most Infectious Diseases In History
Here are some of the most infectious diseases that have plagued the human race till now.
Top 5 Most Infectious Diseases:
1. Flu: It sounds silly when you start off with a disease is so minor and common to us. But in reality, flu spreads faster than most of the serious diseases. The spread of Bird Flu and Swine Flu, has shown us that even a little flu can become dangerous. Hospitals were forced to turn back people as their quarantine wards were overflowed with Flu patients.
2.
HIV
Aids:
The
Human
Immunodeficiency
Virus,
doesn't
spare
any
infected
body.
The
latest
statistics
state
that
every
6th
person
you
come
in
contact
with
stands
the
chance
of
infecting
you
with
this
sexually
communicable
disease.
The
worst
part
is
that
no
permanent
cure
has
been
developed
for
this
disease
till
now.
So,
if
there
is
one
infectious
disease
that
threatens
to
bring
an
end
to
the
world,
then
it
is
this
one.
3.
Bubonic
Plague:
The
Black
Death
that
wiped
out
one
third
of
Europe
population
in
the
14thcentury
was
caused
by
a
plague.
It
spreads
through
rodents
and
fleas
reaches
most
of
the
victims
within
3-4
days.
Although
our
sanitary
and
hygiene
conditions
have
increased
from
the
14thcentury,
plague
is
still
not
an
extinct
disease.
4. Cholera: This is a relatively simple but contagious disease. The bacteria, Vibrio cholerae that comes from polluted water infects the human intestine. It starts as diarrhea leading a person to excessive vomiting. Cholera still affects lives of many in remote rural areas.
5. Malaria: Caused by the bite from one of the tiniest Anopheles mosquitoes, malaria is one of the most contagious diseases in the third world countries. Almost 98 per cent of the infant deaths in Africa happens due to Malaria. Although it is curable, it causes casualties because it is not detected early enough. Constant fever accompanied by shivering is the main symptom of this infectious disease.
There are several other diseases that are very contagious. Do you know any other?
