SARS, known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome, caused the deaths of more than 750 people in a pandemic that occurred between 2002 and 2003.

This was very enlightening. I appreciate all the information that I learned about these diseases. I realize that many of these diseases can have outbreaks in India and Africa. I hope the organizations can battle these diseases in Africa and India- Doctors Without Borders, United Nations, world Health organization.
