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.
alternate name: Influenza

description: Vaccine preventable diseases are those infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination
alternate name: Vaccine-Preventable Disease

measles
type: DefinedTerm
description: A highly contagious viral infection caused by the measles virus. Symptoms appear 8-12 days after exposure and include a rash, cough, fever and muscle pains that can last 4-7 days. Measles vaccines are available to provide prophylaxis, usually combined with mumps and rubella vaccines (MMR).
alternate name: Measles

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

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

type: DefinedTerm
description: Any disease caused by a virus.
alternate name: Viruses Infection

molecular
type: DefinedTerm
alternate name: Molecular

type: DefinedTerm
description: A viral hemorrhagic fever that is caused by the Ebola virus, which is transmitted by contact with infected animals or humans; it is characterized by high fever, unexplained bleeding, and a high mortality rate.
alternate name: Ebola

viral respiratory tract infection
type: DefinedTerm
description: 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.
alternate name: Viral Respiratory Tract Infection

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

unidentified influenza virus
type: DefinedTerm
description: Unidentified influenza virus is a species of ssRNA(-) virus in the family Orthomyxoviridae.
alternate name: Influenza virus

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

description: A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder
alternate name: Infectious Disease

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

Ebolavirus

alternate name: Measles virus

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 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
