There have always been fears of plague in Iran and the world since ancient times. Although it is less prevalent in Iran due to its natural and religious characteristics, it has become one of the leading causes of death and decline in human population in the middle Ages, especially caused by the transport from neighboring countries. In the last 150 years, with the rise of international commerce, the epidemic of plague has taken on another shape and scope, which its control was beyond the power of a dysfunctional government such as Qajar. Neighboring countries and countries that saw their interests at stake in the region came together, helping to set up organizations and send specialist doctors to Iran to control the disease. A clear example of these partnerships can be found in the control of the plague in the Sistan area. The outbreak of plague in Sistan was of its Strategic, commercial and economic importance both for Iranian government and European countries with commercial and strategic interest in India. This study, while overviewing the history of plague outbreaks and therapeutic measures for this disease throughout history, studies the international cooperation in control of the epidemic plague in Sistan region from 1324-1325 H / 1906-1907 relying on foreign relations documents.
