Cause of Death
[edit]The epidemic that broke out in Frederic I's army is often described as malaria. But it could not have been as malaria has a much longer incubation period. To quote Peter Herde: "Als wahrscheinlichste Infektionskrankheit, die das Heer und die Stadt Rom ab 2. August innerhalb weniger Tage heimsuchte und dezimierte bleibt die bakterielle Ruhr (Shigella, bes. Shigella dysenteriae). Sie hat eine sehr kurze Inkubationszeit von 12 Stunden bis zu wenigen Tagen, ist hochkontagiös und eine Krankheit der warmen Jahreszeit". As most likely infection disease that within a few days spread in the army and the city of Rome after 2 August and devastated both remains bacterial dysentery (Shigella, and Shigella dysenteriae in particular). It has a very short incubation period of 12 hours to a few days, is highly contagious and an illness of the warm season. [my translation]
