Wabak Justinianus
Wabak Justinianus (541-542 AD) adalah wabak besar yang menimpa Empayar Rom (Byzantine) Timur, terutama ibukota Kustantiniyah, Sasan, dan kota-kota pelabuhan di seluruh Laut Tengah[1][2] Wabak ini berlaku pada zaman memerintahnya Maharaja Justinianus I yang memberi nama kepada peristiwa ini, baginda turut menghidapi jangkitan ini namun a mengidap penyakit ini tetapi terselamat.[3][4]
Ia merupakan alah satu daripada wabak yang paling dahsyat dalam sejarah, pandemik yang dahsyat mengakibatkan kematian kira-kira 25-50 juta orang dalam dua abad berulang, bersamaan dengan 13-26% penduduk dunia pada masa wabak pertama.[5][6] Kesan dibawa oleh wabak ini berulang muncul secara berkala hingga abad kelapan.[2] Gelombang penyakit mempunyai kesan besar pada sejarah berikutnya di Eropah. Impak sosial dan budaya wabak semasa tempoh Justinian telah dibandingkan dengan Maut Hitam yang sama yang menghancurkan Eropah 600 tahun selepas wabak terakhir Justinian.[7] Procopius, sejarawan Yunani utama abad ke-6, melihat pandemik seperti di seluruh dunia dalam skop.[2][8]
Pada tahun 2013 penyelidik mengesahkan spekulasi awal bahawa punca wabak itu adalah bakteria spesies Yersinia pestis.[9][10] Strain-strain Y. pestis purba dan moden ditelusuri berpunca di banjaran gunung Tian Shan antara sempadan-sempadan Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan dan China, menunjukkan bahawa wabak ini yang mungkin berasal dari dalam atau berhampiran kawasan rantau itu.[11][12]
