Mitchell, Piers D., "The spread of disease with the crusades", dins: Glaze, Florence Eliza - Nance, Brian K., Between Text and Patient: The Medical Enterprise in Medieval and Early Modern Europe, Florencia, SISMEL - Edizioni del Galluzzo (Micrologus Library, 39), 2011, pp. 309-330.

Resum
It has often been assumed that the crusades were responsible for the spread of disease from the Middle East to Europe during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. However, there has actually been very little critical assessment of the evidence for such potential tranmission. This analysis presents the evidence for the spread of infectious disease in both directions between Europe and the Middle East, and also within different regions of the Middle East, with the travels of crusaders and pilgrims.
