good reason to think the there were cases at the time of Christ or soon afterward. The Black Death that swept Europe in the 1300's killed 1/3 the population of Europe at the time. Easy to find tons of info on the web.

2. then you can look at the other infection top ten list --
look that the impact of vaccines on deadly illnesses.
many of these scourges have been totally wiped out, or nearly so.
Don't forget SMALLPOX , and POLIO.

3. you can wind up with a mention of the current hot picks: HIV, which as of 1996 can be controlled with a normal lifespan, prior to that was a death sentence. SARS corona virus. H5N! flu - the so-called "bird flu" - which may be a harbinger of the next influenza pandemic -- hence the efforts to get vaccines that might prevent these.

It's a tall order you have there - but that might be a good outline to start with.
