Sections from The Atlas of Disease

El Lazarillo de Tormes, 1808–10 by Francisco de Goya

Section 1 Airborne

In the great medical science breakthroughs of the second half of the nineteenth century, doctors were beginning to understand the role germs played in spreading epidemic disease. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, bacteriologists like Loeffler were fast identifying the different pathogens responsible for different diseases and the infections’ various means of transmission.

  • Diphtheria
  • Influenza
  • Leprosy
  • Measles
  • Scarlet fever
  • SARS
  • Smallpox
  • Tuberculosis (TB)
Illustration of a man suffering with typhoid, from a German publication on diseases, 1929.

Section 2 Waterborne

Typhoid and paratyphoid are similar diseases, caused by different subspecies of the bacterium Salmonella enterica, but paratyphoid tends to be milder and has a lower mortality rate. The bacteria, which are found almost exclusively in humans, can be passed on in food or water contaminated with infected faeces or urine, or directly, for example, when a sick person with traces of faeces on their hands touches a healthy person.

  • Cholera
  • Dysentery
  • Typhoid
Illustration of a woman with malaria, from a German publication on diseases, 1929.

Section 3 Insects & Animals

Malaria ranks alongside tuberculosis and AIDS as one the world’s leading killers. It is also one of the oldest-known infectious diseases, and scientific evidence suggests a long association between humans and the mosquito that spreads the disease. Because malaria leaves no trace on the bones, however, it is impossible to detect from skeletal remains.

  • Malaria
  • Plague
  • Typhus
  • Yellow fever
  • Zika
Boxes of the polio vaccine being shipped to Europe, 1955.

Section 4 Human To Human

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the US President from 1933 to 1945, was diagnosed with polio in 1921 when he was thirty-nine and left unable to walk, although some experts now question that diagnosis. Roosevelt founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to combat polio. Now known as the March of Dimes, the organisation works today to combat birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

  • Polio
  • Ebola
  • HIV and AIDS
  • Syphilis
