Disease occurred and spread mainly because the conditions of the trenches were so poor that health and hygiene were out of the question. This means that the soldiers were all vulnerable to death, not just from enemy gunfire, but from disease aswell.
trench foot also trench mouth was a major killer
During World War I, disease spread rapidly due to the close quarters of soldiers in trenches, unsanitary conditions, and the movement of troops across different regions. Outbreaks of illnesses such as influenza, dysentery, and typhus were exacerbated by malnutrition and the lack of medical care. The return of soldiers to their home countries further facilitated the spread of diseases, impacting civilian populations as well. Additionally, the mass mobilization of troops created ideal conditions for the transmission of contagious diseases.
NO
lSoldiers lived in the same trench where they fought and people were dying. Living conditions were very hazardous and uncomfortable.Standing rain water in the trenches caused rats and diseasesTrench foot was a widely spread disease caused by wet, unsanitary conditions in which the feet would become infected. If untreated the feet would become gangrenous and have to be amputated.Those killed or wounded in the trenches would have to stay in the trench causing more disease, rats, etc.This method of warfare was very ineffective. Battle lines did not move, instead it caused a stalemate* the food that they ate was made from scrat, which was from mud and also rats.
There were many diseases including: trench foot, shell shock, gas blindness, and in the winter, frostbite. Also common were small pox, cholera, leprosy. One other terrible disease was trench foot. This happened when the foot is submerged in water for long periods of time. It was so common in World War 1 because of the mud and water in the trenches. The foot becomes itchy and swollen. and eventually toes can fall off, along with the foot.
Body lice spread disease. Lice itch. In the trench, there's not much movement (no showers, etc.).
The silk road didn't cause disease to occur but it did greatly contribute to its spread most famously with the black plague.
within or adjacent to trenches
that is false
A contagion is either a disease spread by contact, the spread of such a disease, or the spread of anything harmful, as if it were a disease.

weil's disease, plague
An Epidemiologist studies the spread of disease.
Mainly because lice often carry diseases. During and right after World War I, a disease called typhus killed millions of people, and it was primarily spread by lice.
A disease which is carried and spread by an agent (animal or microorganism) is a vector spread disease. Eg. Mosquitoes are the vectors for malaria.
Lyme disease is spread by ticks. Lyme disease can be pretty much everywhere.
