Plague, which is associated with bacteria-carrying fleas and rodents and can spread from person to person via respiratory droplets, killed up to half the European population, which equates to as many as 200 million people. It is characterized by lymph-node swellings, fever, muscle aches, and weakness and is caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria.

"In the period between 5,300 and 4,900 calibrated years before present (cal. BP), populations across large parts of Europe underwent a period of demographic decline," the study authors noted. "However, the cause of this so-called Neolithic decline is still debated," with experts disagreeing on whether it was caused by an agricultural crisis, war, or an early form of the plague.

Plague found in 17% of remains

Plague was detected in the 5,000-year-old DNA of at least 17% of the sampled population across large geographic distances. Analysis of one family revealed at least three distinct infection events over roughly 120 years and found direct genomic evidence of the practice of mating outside of a social group in a woman buried separately from her brothers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics_and_pandemics#By_death_toll - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics_and_pandemics#By_death_toll or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics_and_pandemics#By_death_toll

DJ, Spanish Flu/H1N1 may have killed 5% of the global population between 1917 and 1923..

The present ongoing HIV/AIDS pandemic killed over 40 million since 1980. CoViD deaths may be 35 million+...both numbers still increasing...

Numbers 16-20 just around 1 million deaths...

So H5N1, Mpox lots of other diseases still can make it into the top 10 !

At present we are doing all we can to get more pandemics going on top of the two major pandemics (HIV/AIDS and CoViD)...

Multi resistent TB has "growing potential ! Measles (do NOT vaccinate...it may stop measles...) also can kill...

Somehow people forget about the many (infectious) diseases in our recent past. Malaria, dengue, cholera...very direct climate collapse links !
