What pathogens causes polio?
Type 1 is the most common of the 3 Polioviruses that causes the Polio disease.
What type of virus is Ebola?
Ebola is caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. There are five identified Ebola virus species, four of which are known to cause disease in humans: Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus); Sudan virus (Sudan ebolavirus); Taï Forest virus and Bundibugyo virus (Bundibugyo ebolavirus). The fifth, Reston virus (Reston ebolavirus), has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans.
What is the current most deadly disease?
The Ebola virus is the current most deadly disease.
A certain virus causes a disease of the digestive system. What is the most likely source of this virus?
Water
Who is most likely to get PML?
Recent evidence suggests that after prolonged compromise of the immune system, the virus changes into a form that can reach brain tissue and cause disease.
What is the virus causing hepatitis?
The hepatitis virus is actually named that particular virus for which it refers to. For example, the virus for hepatitis B is called the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and the virus for hepatitis C is called hepatitis C virus (HCV), and so on.
What is Ross River Virus?

Is E.Coli a virus disease or a bacterial disease?
E. coli is not a disease at all, it is a species of bacteria. E. coli can be found as part of the normal microflora in the human gastrointestinal tract, as most strains are harmless. There are some strains (eg: E. coli 01H57) that are pathogenic and can cause enteritis.
What is the most recent example of disease spread as a result of globalization?
The Zika virus is the most recent example of disease spread as a result of globalization
How do you determine that an outbreak of a disease is not associated with our vaccine virus?
Almost no vaccines carry any active part of a virus- most are inactivated virus, dead virus, or only a piece of the virus, therefore it would be impossible to get sick from the disease the virus is protecting against, and therefore also impossible to then transmit that disease. This theory is a myth of vaccine safety. See the related link for more information.
What is virus induction?
The interferon (IFN) system is an extremely powerful antiviral response that is capable of controlling most, if not all, virus infections in the absence of adaptive immunity. However, viruses can still replicate and cause disease in vivo, because they have some strategy for at least partially circumventing the IFN response.
Is rublla a virus?
Yes, rubella is a viral infection caused by the rubella virus. It is a contagious disease that can cause a mild fever and rash, particularly dangerous for pregnant women as it can lead to serious birth defects in the fetus. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent rubella infection.
