HERE ARE TOP 7 LIST OF DEADLY VIRUSES WHICH CAN WIPE OUR POPULATION.\r
NO 7.Plague (disease)\r
Plague is a deadly infectious disease that is caused by the enteroberia Yersinia pestis, named after the French-Swiss beriologist Alexandre Yersin….\r
Until June 2007, plague was one of the three epidemic diseases specifically reportable to the World Health Organisation (the other two being cholera and yellow fever)\r
Depending on lung infection, or sanitary conditions, plague can be spread in the air, by direct cont, or by contaminated undercooked food or materials\r
It is treatable if detected early. Plague is still endemic in some parts of the world.\r
NO 6. The influenza\r
World War I claimed an estimated 16 million lives.. WithiThe influenza epidemic that swept the world in 1918 killed an estimated 50 million people. One fifth of the worlds population was attacked by this deadly virusn months, it had killed more people than any other illness in recorded history.\r
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infectious disease of birds and mammals caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae, the influenza viruses.\r
NO 5.Anthrax\r
Anthrax is an acute disease caused by the berium Bacillus anthracis. Most forms of the disease are lethal, and it affects both humans and animals. Effective vaccines against anthrax are now available, and some forms of the disease respond well to antibiotic treatment.Until the 20th century, anthrax infections killed hundreds of thousands of animals and people worldwide each year.French scientist Louis Pasteur developed the first effective vaccine for anthrax in 1881\r
NO 4. SARS\r
The SARS coronavirus, sometimes shortened to SARS-CoV, is the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).\r
SARS, or Severe acute respiratory syndrome, is the disease caused by SARS coronavirus. It causes an often severe illness marked initially by systemic symptoms of muscle pain, headache, and fever, followed in 2–10 days by the onset of respiratory symptoms,[3] mainly cough, dyspnea, and pneumonia. Another common finding in SARS patients is a decrease in the number of lymphocytes circulating in the blood.\r
\r
NO 3.HIV\r
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),[1][2] a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive.\r
Without treatment, average survival time after infection with HIV is estimated to be 9 to 11 years, \r
NO 2.Marburg virus\r
Marburgvirus (/ˈmɑrbərɡ ˈvaɪrəs/ mar-bərg vy-rəs[1]) is a hemorrhagic fever virus first noticed and described during small epidemics in the German cities Marburg and Frankfurt and the Yugoslavian capital Belgrade in the 1960s. Workers were accidentally exposed to tissues of infected grivets (Chlorocebus aethiops) at the citys former main industrial plant, the Behringwerke, then part of Hoechst, and today of CSL Behring. During these outbreaks, 31 people became infected and seven of them died.\r
\r
NO 1.EBOLA VIRUS\r
Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a disease of humans and other primates caused by the Ebola virus. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contring the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. Typically nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea follow, along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. Around this time, some people begin to have bleeding problems. This bleeding may occur within the body or externally. The risk of death among those infected is high.[
