From the point of view of the control of diseases, World War II represented a transitional period for
industrialised combatant countries. As far as infectious diseases are concerned, the five years of
continual war and occupation had affected civilian populations in Europe surprisingly less than did
warfare in previous conflicts. The most notable increases in disease levels. were those of new case of
tuberculosis, which rose steadily throughout Western Europe, and of reported cases of typhoid fever.
Most seriously affected were displaced persons, encamped refugees and inmates of concentration
camps. In marginally nourished and starving patients, typhus, dysentery, scarlet fever, and diphtheria
caused sporadic outbreaks and many deaths.

D) most of Western Europe was occupied for a large part of the war
E) refugees and the homeless were adequately taken care of during the war
