Twelve virus epidemics spread in India from 1900 to 2020

Twelve virus epidemics spread in India from 1900 to 2020

 Corona virus is currently the epidemic in the world.  When an infectious disease is transmitted to a large population in a very short time, it is called an epidemic.  There have been countless epidemics in the world over the ages, billions of people have died.  However, Hu claims that Corona has surpassed other virus epidemics.

 When an epidemic spreads from a small place to a large area, it is called a pandemic.  Note that the spread of a larger epidemic lasts longer than an epidemic.  It can last up to a few years.  And that fear has been growing since Corona was declared a 'pandemic'.

 This is not the first time there has been a major epidemic in the world, the planet has seen many epidemics before.  Between 2005 and 2012, the number of AIDS deaths worldwide was 36 million.  Before that, in 1986, 1 million people died of fever in the world.  Even before that, between 1958 and 1958, 2 million people died of Asiab flu.  Even before Corona, various parts of India were affected by the epidemic.  However, the people of the twentieth century have never seen such an epidemic.  The nature of the disease can be understood from how large the epidemic is spreading.  Currently, Covid 19 caused by Corona virus has spread all over the world.

List of 12 epidemics in india:

Encephalitis lethargica: Encephalitis lethargica, also known as ‘lethargic encephalitis’.  An epidemic of encephalitis that spread around the world from 1915 to 1928.  The disease was characterized by loss of energy, lethargy, depression and lethargy in the human body.  By 1919 it had spread to different parts of the world, especially Canada, Central America and India.  It was also called encephalitis A and economic encephalitis or disease.

 Indian doctor JE Dhunjivay published his research on the disease in July 1929.  Where he called the virus infection ‘acute contagiosis disease’.  The virus damaged the human nervous system and the gray matter of the brain.  Beginning in Vienna, Europe in 1918, it spread throughout Europe.  The disease is estimated to have killed about 1.5 million people worldwide.

Spanish flu: The Spanish flu appeared as a global epidemic during World War I when people around the world were trying to deal with encephalitis lethargy.  It is a type of influenza and strongly contagious.  The spread of the virus was exacerbated during World War II.  The study estimates that the virus kills about 50 million people worldwide and about 10-20 million in India.

Cholera: Vibrio cholerae is a bacterium that caused seven pandemics of cholera from 1818.  The seventh cholera epidemic was caused by the El Tor strain of Vibrio cholerae, which was identified in 1981 in the Indonesian city of Makassar.  In less than five years, it spread to different parts of Asia and reached Bangladesh by 1973, India in 1984.  Calcutta was the most affected.

 From South Asia it gradually spread to Africa and then to the continent of Europe.  The disease spreads very fast all over the world due to unsanitary conditions, population growth etc.  By the 1980s, the disease had spread to Japan and the South Pacific.  One study found that 10,000 people died of the disease in Peru, Latin America.  By 1991, about 7 lakh people had died from this disease.

Flu pandemic: The epidemic was caused by the H3N2 strain of influenza virus, which spread rapidly in Hong Kong in July 1978. It later spread to Singapore, Vietnam, and within two months to parts of India, the Philippines, Australia, and Europe.  It also spread to the United States after the Vietnam War.  Probably 1 million people in the world die from this disease.

Small pox: Infectious disease is caused by both the virus variants Variola major and Variola minor.  The virus was first seen in India.  According to the University of Michigan, 80% of small pox were also found in India in the 1980s.  It then spread to West Africa and by 197 to about 22 countries around the world.  As a result, millions of people died all over the world.  The smallpox vaccine was administered by Hu from 1982-1975, mainly in India.  By 1967, India was declared a small pox-free country.

Plague: In September 1994, an outbreak of pneumonia plague was reported in Surat, India, and with it, misinformation and rumors began to spread, forcing many people to leave the city.  As a result, it spread to different parts of India.  Within a week, there were 1,000 confirmed cases and 50 deaths.  The spread of the disease is mainly due to unsanitary conditions and the impact of the disease gradually diminished when the government took the initiative to clean up the city.

SARS: The first SARS was discovered in India in April 2003 and Singapore was identified as its place of origin.  SARS was the first deadly contagious disease of the 21st century.  The cause of the virus, which has spread to 30 countries around the world, was a type of coronavirus.

Hepatitis: This disease usually occurs when contaminated blood enters the body.  In February 2009, 125 people were infected with Hepatitis B in Modasa, Gujarat.  According to experts, the infection was caused by the use of contaminated syringes.

Jaundice: An outbreak of jaundice was seen in Orissa in 2014.  In three months, 6 people died and 60 were infected.  The infection was caused by contaminated sewage water mixing with drinking water pipes.  A total of 398 people were infected and 38 died.

Swine flu: At the end of 2014, the highest prevalence of H1N1 virus was in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi, Maharashtra and Telangana.  In one year, 33,000 infections were reported across the country and 2,000 deaths were reported.

Encephalitis: The main cause of this disease is mosquito bites, which can lead to long-term physical disability that leads to death.  The cause of the outbreak in Gorakhpur was lack of cleanliness and sanitation.  The disease has killed more than 1,300 children.

Nipah virus: This Nipah virus is transmitted from fruit bats.  In India, the disease spread mainly to Kerala.  With the help of local administration and leadership, the disease could not spread outside the state.  The disease kills 18 people a month, and a month later the disease is declared completely eradicated.
