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

Most of the common diseases that killed troops on both sides of the American Civil War include dysentery, malaria, pneumonia, measles, typhoid and tuberculosis. The worst out of the bunch was by far dysentery. This one disease accounted for around 45,000 deaths in the Union army and around 50,000 deaths in the Confederate army. The diseases that killed the soldiers were malaria and small pox.
The Japanese troops were repelled by the Australian and US troops during the Kokoda Trail campaign. The PNG natives offered invaluable assistance to the Allied troops, often at great risk to themselves.
