host organism
type: DefinedTerm
description: An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the site of reproduction of an organism of a different taxon.
alternate name: Host

Dengue virus
type: DefinedTerm
description: 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.
alternate name: Dengue virus

Influenza A virus
type: DefinedTerm
description: 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.
alternate name: Influenza A virus

Homo sapiens
type: DefinedTerm
description: Members of the species Homo sapiens.
alternate name: Homo sapiens

molecular
type: DefinedTerm
alternate name: Molecular

diagnostic tests
type: DefinedTerm
description: Information about diagnostic tests, results, including serology tests, PCR, and other tests
alternate name: Tests

repository
type: DefinedTerm
description: A collection of information in various types of structured or non-structured formats.
alternate name: Repository

Viruses
type: DefinedTerm
description: 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.
alternate name: Viruses

sequence collection
type: DefinedTerm
description: A collection of discontinuous sequences.
alternate name: Sequence Collection

Ebolavirus
type: DefinedTerm
description: A genus in the family FILOVIRIDAE consisting of several distinct species of Ebolavirus, each containing separate strains. These viruses cause outbreaks of a contagious, hemorrhagic disease (HEMORRHAGIC FEVER, EBOLA) in humans, usually with high mortality.
alternate name: Ebolavirus

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
type: DefinedTerm
description: 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.
alternate name: SARS-CoV2

pathogen
type: DefinedTerm
description: An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the bearer of an infectious dispositions towards an organism of a different particular biological taxon.
alternate name: Pathogen

Measles morbillivirus
type: DefinedTerm
description: The type species of MORBILLIVIRUS and the cause of the highly infectious human disease MEASLES, which affects mostly children.
alternate name: Measles virus

Influenza B virus
type: DefinedTerm
description: 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.
alternate name: Influenza B virus

human respiratory syncytial virus
type: DefinedTerm
description: 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.
alternate name: human respiratory syncytial virus

Zika virus
type: DefinedTerm
description: An arbovirus in the FLAVIVIRUS genus of the family FLAVIVIRIDAE. Originally isolated in the Zika Forest of UGANDA it has been introduced to Asia and the Americas.
alternate name: Zika virus

Population count
type: DefinedTerm
description: A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.
alternate name: Population Count

Mumps orthorubulavirus
type: DefinedTerm
description: The type species of RUBULAVIRUS that causes an acute infectious disease in humans, affecting mainly children. Transmission occurs by droplet infection.
alternate name: Mumps virus
