Of course, different people in different places are immune to different diseases. For example when the Spanish conquistadors took ships all the way down to America they brought diseases such as yellow fever, typhus, and smallpox. When the Spanish Conquistadors encountered the Native American population, these diseases completely destroyed up to 90% of their population.

Answer: population movement has affected the spread of emerging infections because the more people around the more germs can spread. Germs are spread by touching things. A lot of places there are a lot of people and they touch a lot of things, and then you’re gonna be the next one to touch it, which would cause an infection.
