Spread of Epidemics in the Turkestan Assr and their Elimination Measures

Abstract

Humanity has suffered greatly from epidemics spread among the population in different historical periods. The word "epidemic" is derived from the Greek word "epidemic" which means widespread disease. The first information about it dates back to the 3rd millennium BC. According to the Greek historian Thucydides (460-400 BC), the crisis of Greek culture was caused by an epidemic that spread in Athens in 430-425 BC[11].
