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.

Teleportation is possible now.

  From the very beginning man has been very curious about everything in the world. Due to this curiosity, he invented different things and discovered new things. All the comforts of today are the result of this curiosity. But this curiosity did not end there but increased. The man also started working on teleportation. In today's article, we will talk about the extent of human success in this field. Is teleportation possible or not? Let's see in the following text. "Beam me up" is one of the most famous catchphrases in the "Star Trek" series. This is the command issued when the character wants to teleport to Starship Enterprise from a distance.

Artificial Intelligence : Sci-Fi Into Reality

  Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a popular topic in science fiction for decades, but as technology advances in the real world, it's becoming a more pressing issue. In this post, we'll explore what artificial intelligence is, its definition, and how it's portrayed in popular sci-fi works, from "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" to "Her." We'll also take a look at machine learning in artificial intelligence and whether deep learning is a form of artificial intelligence. What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans. The goal of AI is to create machines that can perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions, and solving problems. Types of AI There are two types of AI: narrow or weak AI and general or strong AI. Narrow AI is designed to perform a specific task, su...
