Balto
Yes, Balto was a real sled dog that helped deliver diphtheria antitoxin to Nome, Alaska in 1925 during a diphtheria outbreak. Balto and his team ran the final leg of the journey and became famous for their heroic efforts.
Mass vaccination to prevent diphtheria had already started in the Western countries since the Twenties, so it had ceased to be a very common disease in the US and Europe. In countries that had no vaccination program it remained a common children's disease. Only in Europe after the outbreak of WW II, there was an outbreak in 1943 with a million cases and about 50,000 deaths.

The virulence factor for diphtheria is an exotoxin named diphtheria exotoxin.
The famous diphtheria outbreak of 1925 in Nome, Alaska captured the nation's attention when the life-saving antitoxin was rushed to the remote town overland by dog-sled. It was dubbed the "great Race of Mercy" and was the inspiration for the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race held each March since 1973.
The epicenter of the SARS outbreak in 2003 was identified as Guangdong province in southern China. The virus is believed to have originated in animals before spreading to humans.
No, the noun 'diphtheria' is a common noun, a word for any instance of diphtheria.
Some diseases that have lysogenic conversion in humans include diphtheria (caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae), botulism (caused by Clostridium botulinum), and cholera (caused by Vibrio cholerae). In these cases, the bacteria integrate their genetic material into the host's genome, leading to the production of toxins that cause disease.
