Abstract in brief
In 430 BC, Athens was struck by a devastating plague during the Peloponnesian War, infecting most of the population and causing significant deaths, with Thucydides providing one of the earliest detailed eyewitness accounts.
Modern research has debated whether the disease was smallpox or typhus, using new scientific methods like DNA analysis, forensic anthropology, and epidemiological modeling to better understand its nature and spread.
The plague was highly contagious, caused symptoms like a pustular rash and high fever, spread from Ethiopia through the Mediterranean, and had a consistent pattern across different groups, excluding common or respiratory diseases as causes.
10. The people who got plague in ancient Athens had a horrendous mortality rate. Not a role model for modern epidemiologists with a guesstimate of a 25% CFR

@vonbrauckmann @CaulfieldTim @NBCNews Patrick - again, we knew about how well natural immunity worked as far back as 430BC. The fact that people pushed back against NI shows how political things got. https://t.co/EDYSXbrofp.
The terrible epidemic that killed a quarter of Athens in the year 430 b.c. Not to mention the Romain Antonin plague of 167 or the Julian plague. Epidemics and pandemics are not new and this will not be the last one. The first time…https://t.co/CLv8fk7P4x https://t.co/RmebKJf8X3
