Abstract

Along its history, Morocco has known various epidemical crises that severely affected its population : the economic decline and the political instability were inevitable. Most of the the time, the epidemic was linked to the plague that hit Europe too. How did the Moroccans and the Makhzen ( Moroccan state) face this devastating pest ? What are the ways of contagion ? What are the treatment methods and what was the health prevention policy to fight against epidemiological diseases ? As many questions the programme will try to answer relying on archives pictures and the interventions of many historians and researchers.
