The 1991 cholera outbreak in Lima, Peru, was primarily caused by the contamination of water supplies with the Vibrio cholerae bacterium, linked to inadequate sanitation and poor public health infrastructure. The outbreak was exacerbated by the El Niño phenomenon, which led to heavy rains and flooding, further contaminating water sources. Rapid urbanization and the influx of people into slums without proper sanitation facilities also contributed to the spread of the disease. This outbreak highlighted critical gaps in public health responses and infrastructure in the region.

An example of an epidemic?
The 'Spanish Flu' epidemic of 1918, the name came from the early high mortality rate in Spain. The outbreak began in the middle east in early spring and quickly spread along the battle lines of Europe (WWI was in progress) through the military camps and civilian population. Each nation involved in the war went to great lengths to conceal the diseases effects on their population, even though the other countries were dealing with exactly the same situation. This gave the outbreak even more power. As the war ended, the soldiers returning home brought the flu home to North America in large numbers. This flu was very sneaky, it started with a few days of fever, followed by death. The outbreak abruptly ended in 1919 and disappeared leaving an estimated 70 million dead worldwide.
