6 deadliest diseases in history

In this article, we will discuss the top 6 dangerous diseases in the world before Coronavirus. All of us know very well about Corona pandemics but in this article, we will talk about diseases or viruses other than corona, which is also considered the most dangerous disease in the world.


1.       Marburg virus:

 The most dangerous virus is the Marburg virus. It is named after a small and idyllic town on the river Lahn - but that has nothing to do with the disease itself. The Marburg virus is a hemorrhagic fever virus. As with Ebola, the Marburg virus causes convulsions and bleeding of mucous membranes, skin, and organs. It has a fatality rate of 90 percent.

2.       Ebola virus:

There are five strains of the Ebola virus, each named after countries and regions in Africa: Zaire, Sudan, Tai Forest, Bundibugyo, and Reston. The Zaire Ebola virus is the deadliest, with a mortality rate of 90 percent. It is the strain currently spreading through Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, and beyond. Scientists say flying foxes probably brought the Zaire Ebola virus into cities.

3.       Hantavirus:

 The Hantavirus describes several types of viruses. It is named after a river where American soldiers were first thought to have been infected with the Hantavirus, during the Korean War in 1950. Symptoms include lung disease, fever, and kidney failure. It is considered the most dangerous disease.

4.       Crimea-Congo fever virus:

 The Crimea-Congo fever virus is transmitted by ticks. It is similar to the Ebola and Marburg viruses in the way it progresses. During the first days of infection, sufferers present with pin-sized bleedings in the face, mouth, and pharynx.

5.        Kyasanur Forest Virus:

Scientists discovered the Kyasanur Forest Virus (KFD) virus in woodlands on the southwestern coast of India in 1955. It is transmitted by ticks, but scientists say it is difficult to determine any carriers. It is assumed that rats, birds, and boars could be hosts. People infected with the virus suffer from high fever, strong headaches, and muscle pain which can cause bleedings.

6.       Dengue fever:

 Dengue fever is a constant threat. If you're planning a holiday in the tropics, get informed about dengue. Transmitted by mosquitoes, dengue affects between 50 and 100 million people a year in popular holiday destinations such as Thailand and India. But it's more of a problem for the 2 billion people who live in areas that are threatened by dengue fever. It is also considered the deadliest disease of 2020.

Life other than Earth

  Is life possible other than Earth? We have no idea if life exists somewhere else! We all know that life as we know it requires a unique set of circumstances in order to exist. Many scientists believe that these circumstances exist elsewhere and that life could exist outside of our planet. These species can range from basic bacteria to more complex life forms like plants and animals. All living things require food, water, and the proper environment and temperature. Humans, for example, require oxygen to breathe and can survive in temperatures that are neither too hot nor too cold. Even the power of gravity influences the shape of our body, such as the strength of our bones and muscles. Because other planets do not have the same conditions as Earth, life on them would be considerably different. These regions, for example, may have a distinct atmosphere, resulting in an insufficient amount of oxygen for us to breathe. All living species on the planet have adapted to our envi...
