molecular

The GISAID initiative contains a collection of viral genomic sequences. The database includes genetic sequence and related clinical and epidemiological data associated with human viruses, and geographical as well as species-specific data associated with avian and other animal viruses.

GISAID

A species of ORTHOPOXVIRUS that is the etiological agent of MPOX, MONKEYPOX.

Monkeypox virus

Mpox virus

A species of BETACORONAVIRUS causing atypical respiratory disease (COVID-19) in humans. The organism was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. The natural host is the Chinese intermediate horseshoe bat, RHINOLOPHUS affinis.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2

SARS-CoV2

A disease is a disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism.

disease

Disease

A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder

infectious disease

Infectious Disease

A Coronavirus infection that is characterized by fever, cough and shortness of breath and that has_material_basis_in SARS-CoV-2.

COVID-19

A viral infectious disease that results in infection of primates, rodents and humans, located in skin, has_material_basis_in Monkeypox virus, which is transmitted by contact with the animal's blood, body fluids, rash, or with the body fluids of a sick person, transmitted by fomites, and transmitted by respiratory droplets. The infection has symptom fever, has symptom muscle ache, has symptom headache, and has symptom lymphadenopathy.

mpox

Mpox

The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

Influenza A virus

A species of the genus FLAVIVIRUS which causes an acute febrile and sometimes hemorrhagic disease in man. Dengue is mosquito-borne and four serotypes are known.

Dengue fever (DF), caused by dengue virus, is an arboviral disease characterized by an initial non-specific febrile illness that can sometimes progress to more severe forms manifesting capillary leakage and hemorrhage (dengue hemorrhagic fever, or DHF) and shock (dengue shock syndrome, or DSS).

dengue disease

Dengue

An acute viral infection of the respiratory tract, occurring in isolated cases, in epidemics, or in pandemics; it is caused by serologically different strains of viruses (influenzaviruses) designated A, B, and C, has a 3-day incubation period, and usually lasts for 3 to 10 days. It is marked by inflammation of the nasal mucosa, pharynx, and conjunctiva; headache; myalgia; often fever, chills, and prostration; and occasionally involvement of the myocardium or central nervous system.

influenza

Influenza

An infectious disease where a pathogen is carried and transmitted by another organism that acts as disease vector.

vector-borne disease

Vector-borne Infection

A respiratory tract infection caused by a virus. Viruses represent the most common causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections and include rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus.

viral respiratory tract infection

Viral Respiratory Tract Infection

Infection with the respiratory syncytial virus, an RNA virus of the genus Pneumovirus, in the family Paramyxoviridae, which is characterized by the formation of syncytia in tissue culture. It causes minor respiratory infection with rhinitis and cough in adults, but is capable of causing severe bronchitis and bronchopneumonia in young children.

respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection

Minute infectious agents whose genomes are composed of DNA or RNA, but not both. They are characterized by a lack of independent metabolism and the inability to replicate outside living host cells.

Viruses

Unidentified influenza virus is a species of ssRNA(-) virus in the family Orthomyxoviridae.

unidentified influenza virus

Influenza virus

Species of the genus BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS that cause HUMAN INFLUENZA and other diseases primarily in humans. Antigenic variation is less extensive than in type A viruses (INFLUENZA A VIRUS) and consequently there is no basis for distinct subtypes or variants. Epidemics are less likely than with INFLUENZA A VIRUS and there have been no pandemics. Previously only found in humans, Influenza B virus has been isolated from seals which may constitute the animal reservoir from which humans are exposed.

Influenza B virus

The type species of PNEUMOVIRUS and an important cause of lower respiratory disease in infants and young children. It frequently presents with bronchitis and bronchopneumonia and is further characterized by fever, cough, dyspnea, wheezing, and pallor.

human respiratory syncytial virus

Infection by an etiologic agent that can be passed between animals and humans.

Zoonotic Infection

Zoonotic infection

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of conditions caused by a variety of pathogens (including viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and toxins) and associated with devastating health, social and economic consequences.

neglected tropical disease

Neglected Tropical Disease

A viral infectious disease that results in infection of primates, rodents and humans, located in skin, has_material_basis_in Monkeypox virus, which is transmitted by contact with the animal&apos;s blood, body fluids, rash, or with the body fluids of a sick person, transmitted by fomites, and transmitted by respiratory droplets. The infection has symptom fever, has symptom muscle ache, has symptom headache, and has symptom lymphadenopathy.

Vaccine preventable diseases are those infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination

vaccine-preventable Disease

Vaccine-Preventable Disease

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the bearer of an infectious dispositions towards an organism of a different particular biological taxon.
