Nah, new diseases and pathogens have been comming into existence for 
millennia. (Otherwise we'd have all evolved total resistence to them 
long ago.) It's just that before now, we wouldn't have known about it. 
We'd just see people dying and not know why. (You might also argue that 
population density might make disease spread less dramatically...)
