Smallpox
One of the most significant diseases that caused a major epidemic in Africa is Ebola virus disease. The Ebola outbreak that began in West Africa in 2014 resulted in thousands of deaths and had a profound impact on the healthcare systems and economies of the affected countries. Another notable disease is HIV/AIDS, which has led to a prolonged epidemic across the continent, affecting millions of lives and prompting extensive public health responses. Both diseases highlight the challenges of disease control and prevention in the region.
