Did lots of disease spread after world war 2?

Question:

I am pretty sure that that disease spread though soldiers that were moving from and to one country to another.

Answer:

WW2 medical practices prevented the worst disease problems among troops- unlike the WW1 flu epidemic. Penicillin and Sulfa drugs developed during war were available for various problems- including the STDs. troop illness relatively low-- the illness on civilians after war depended a lot on countries economic condition- England got a lot of medical staff and stuff for military made available to civilians, losing Germans on eastern zone missed medicine except for black market, Poland in similar situation as minimal medicine available except through russians who were a little short. Austria and Italy got some of current medicine open and black market. French Algeria had endemic plague and depended on quarantine and sulfas- Camus wrote a book about it 1948. japan had occupation medical backup- US worried about disease and civil unrest- but populace practiced hygiene measures to reduce incidents and a lot of potential disease areas had been incinerated in firebomb raids. Japanese troops with disease potential- a lot of them already killed. Decease spread less by troops except eastern front-- and then it was the infrastructure destruction that let a lot of endemic illness turn into epidemics like typhus in camps.
