সংক্ষিপ্ত বিবরন : In History of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides stated that the Athenians were quick to blame foreigners for the epidemic that hit their city during the military conflict with Sparta. The story goes that the disease started in the part of Ethiopia above Egypt, and then it moved to Egypt and Libya. Some said the Spartans had put the pathogen into their cisterns – at least until the Spartans got hit by the same illness. Diseases, then and now, do not care where we reside.
