There were several diseases that killed troops during WWII, one of the biggest was malaria. This was a major disease in the Pacific theater and therefore killed mostly Marines. Yelllow fever was also a player in the Pacific. In the African theater cholera and dysentary (diarrheal diseases) were major problems, and Rommels forces were desimated by diarrhea and it was a significant player in his defeat by Montgomery
