Pandemics and global outbreaks of infectious diseases always have been a great challenge for human survival and life throughout history. The following three are clear examples of global outbreaks of plague. First, the outbreak started from Egypt in 541 CE and less than two years spread to the Middle East, Europe, Persia and north Africa; the second started in Central Asia; India, China and eastern Russia, but it not only affected Asia but also spread to Europe. Both pandemics had several waves during centuries and killed millions of people.
