Cholera often occurs in outbreaks or epidemics; seven pandemics (countrywide or worldwide epidemics) of cholera have been recorded between 1817 and 2003
3 Major influenza Pandemics
In the last 150 years, there have been several significant world epidemics and pandemics, including the 1918 influenza pandemic, the HIV/AIDS epidemic starting in the late 20th century, the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009, and the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2019. Other notable outbreaks include the Ebola virus in West Africa and the Zika virus outbreak. Overall, the exact number of epidemics can vary depending on definitions and criteria used, but there have been numerous impactful events during this period.

True, it is difficult to completely eliminate the threat of future pandemics due to the interconnected nature of our global society, the evolving nature of pathogens, and the potential for zoonotic spillover events. However, ongoing research, improved surveillance systems, and public health measures can help mitigate the impact of future pandemics.
I was really interested when I read this question as I had been researching this myself. The main pandemics in history have included:• Plague of Justinian, around 100 million died in Europe between 541 to 542• Black Death, between 50 to 200 million died of this between 1331 to 1353The recent COVID-19 Coronavirus has me concentrating on more recent pandemics, I wondered how does this compare? I found this infographic very useful for modern pandemics, this states that the pandemics of the last century were:• Spanish flu – which killed 17 million around 1918 to 1920• Asian flu – which killed 1.1 million around 1956 to 1958• Hong Kong flu – this killed around 1 million between 1968 to 1969• HIV / AIDS – this has killed 32 million people so far• Swine flu – this killed around 575,000 people between 2009 to 2010
No. There couldn't possibly be an "epidemic" of lupus, as it's not contagious.

There have been many suggestions.It is thought that it disappeared because of droughts,floods,epidemics and war.
Influenza C viruses are also found in people. They are, however, milder than either type A or B. People generally do not become very ill from the influenza type C viruses. Type C flu viruses do not cause epidemics. Almost all adults have been infected with C but it just doesn't have the ability to cause epidemics and it doesn't fit the term epidemic.
Yes there have been others like Bubonic plague, Ebola virus, West Nile Virus, cholera, and tuberculosis, HIV, AIDS, the bird flu, and many others
The term "mono" can refer to various things, such as mononucleosis (often called "mono"), a type of virus, or even a musical genre. If you're referring to mononucleosis, it's commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which has been known since the 1960s. If you meant something else by "mono," please provide more context for a more accurate answer.
