held during a passionate sexual encounter. it also seemed to indicate that physical exertion also accelerates the progression of the disease. the disease is transmitted when an infected creatures' blood is exposed to a victim's bloodstream (bare skin contact with infectious blood is implied to not result in infection). it can also be contracted through unprotected sexual activity and by drinking contaminated water. the disease spreads cross-species and was initially discovered in a dead dog. where the dog contracted the disease is unknown. despite the name of the franchise, fever is never indicated as being a symptom of the disease. geostigma final fantasy vii: advent children a disease caused by jenova's presence in the lifestream as it rose to destroy meteor in the ending of final fantasy vii. decreases the efficiency of the body's immune system-like inner lifestream current. also causes exhaustion and black sores appearing on the skin. mostly affects children due to their weaker constitutions. healed by aerith gainsborough's great gospel healing rain. "the stigma. it is a symptom of alien matter infesting the body. the body tries to eliminate it, and overcompensates. inside our bodies is a current like the lifestream. that current is what fights off any malevolent intruders." – vincent valentine hemoglophagia (hgv) ultraviolet disease responsible for turning many humans into vampire-like creatures. contrary to most vampiral diseases, hemoglophagia drastically shortens the lifespan of an infected individual to little over a decade. the host's disease the host the unnamed disease carried by the giant monster terrorizing south korea.

the human race has lost the ability to reproduce. however, the story involves a woman who secretly turns out to be pregnant and, as a result, holds the only hope of survival in her child who is immune to the epidemic. krippin virus (kv) i am legend a genetically re-engineered measles virus originally created as a "miracle cure" for cancer, but mutated into a lethal, highly pathogenic strain. kv has a 90% mortality rate; less than 1% of humans are immune. two transmission vectors for the pathogen are inhalation and infected blood, with two corresponding immunity profiles. infected humans who did not die began exhibiting early symptoms of rabies and degenerated into a state driven by rage. a major symptom is that the adrenal glands are "permanently open", giving victims increased strength, speed and agility but also a faster metabolism. this results in increased body temperature, heart rate, and breathing speed, making those infected hyperventilate constantly. pupils became permanently dilated and skin became hypersensitive to uv radiation, forcing infected hosts into a nocturnal life cycle. loss of body hair is another symptom. non-humans such as rats and dogs are also susceptible to kv. they are sensitive to blood. these infected are similar to vampires. lamanla virus wolf warrior 2 "symptoms include the sudden onset fever, hallucinations, lesions, cold sweats. it is a fatal virus that's transmitted through direct human contact. upon contraction, death strikes between four hours and five months." lampington's disease last holiday in the original 1950 film, the disease seems to have been a tumor in the abdomen (the patient's x-ray is used to indicate something "between the stomach and the small intestine," although a shot of the pelvis is actually being shown). here, it is an untreatable, terminal condition which is nearly pain-free, but which leads to coma and death within a couple of weeks to a couple of months at the most. it is explained as a recently discovered condition, described by and named for sir trevor lampington, a character who also appears in the plot. in the 2006 remake, the disease has morphed into a neurological disease causing multiple brain tumors, rapidly progressing to death within a few weeks if not treated with an exorbitant operation. mm88 virus mm88 is a deadly type of virus created accidentally by an american geneticist that amplifies the potency of any other virus or bacterium it comes into contact with. it has a 100% mortality rate; however, the virus is inactive at temperatures below -10 degrees celsius. the virus is stolen and is found in east germany, and during an attempt to steal it back it is released accidentally after the plane carrying it crashes. a pandemic spreads worldwide and is dubbed the "italian flu". eventually wiping out all vertebrate life on earth except for a grouping of antarctic scientists and submariner's from various nations, the survivors set up a government council at the various research stations at the time of the devastating global pandemic and attempt to survive; however, the air worldwide is contaminated, making antarctica the only safe place for the roughly 800 or so survivors. macgregor's syndrome batman & robin a four-stage disease that mr. freeze's wife, nora, had and was placed in cryogenic stasis for. the film also revealed that batman's butler, alfred pennyworth, was also had stage-1 macgregor's. mr. freeze successfully created the antidote for stage-1 of the disease, and gave some of it to batman as an apology for thinking that batman killed nora (which was actually a lie fabricated by poison ivy). mad zombie disease zombieland the disease which caused people, upon receiving a bite from one of the infected, to become zombies. the disease is a mutation of mad cow disease, which became mad human disease, and then mutated to form mad zombie disease. malignalitaloptereosis the sword in the stone a rare disease which causes the victim to break out in spots, followed by hot and cold flashes, then violent sneezing. during the wizard's duel, merlin had transformed himself into the germ that caused this disease and infected madam mim with it, causing her to become sick and lose the duel. meningoencephalitis virus one (mev-1) contagion a highly contagious and lethal paramyxovirus that infects both the lungs and the brain, causing coughing, fever and severe headache, progressing over the period of a few hours to seizures and ultimately death. methuselah syndrome blade runner a genetic disease resembling progeria that causes faster aging. motaba outbreak a deadly, virulent ebola-like virus from the jungles of zaire, which later infected a fictional california town within a few days. nerve attenuation syndrome (nas) johnny mnemonic aka "the black shakes," progressive seizure disorder prevalent in society due to the overabundance of technology and the use of cybernetics. attacks are sporadic, but become more frequent over time until the victim expires. neurological degeneration syndrome, or nds absolon a highly-contagious airborne virus, released into the atmosphere from the destruction of the amazon rainforest causes quick and painful deaths. the only way of controlling the virus is expensive, daily, painful injections of the drug absolon. society has been rebuilt on the sale of absolon, a multibillion-dollar + industry. a detective christopher lambert searches for the killer who murdered the scientist who has found a cure for nds, potentially making absolon worthless. nrs and ubt demolition man these are the names of two std epidemics that occurred during the thirty-six years spartan was incarcerated via cybergenics, and both were presumably just as bad as the hiv outbreak, both of which made sex, kissing, and even touching each other both illegal and greatly feared by the populace. the panic the last days (los últimos días) the virus causes people to have extreme agoraphobia. if victims are forced to go outside, they panic, go into seizures, and die. patriot the patriot (1998) an unnamed highly contagious airborne virus which has been stolen from a government biological warfare laboratory. its early symptoms include a rash, and it is quickly fatal. it is not clear in the film whether the virus was supposed to have been harvested from the wild (such as ebola) and then grown as a weapon, or whether the laboratory first engineered it in some way. in the film, the leader of a local militia has obtained both the virus and what he believes to be a vaccine for it, and decides to start an epidemic with the virus, believing that he will be safe because he has taken the vaccine. a local doctor of indian (native american) ancestry fights to find a cure for it. rage (human cortico-deficiency virus) 28 days later28 weeks later rage causes extreme aggression in a victim ten to thirty seconds after being infected with the disease. the disease is easily transmissible through any bodily fluid, such as blood and saliva, except semen. because of this extreme contagiousness and very short incubation time, a crowd of hundreds could be infected by one single individual in a manner of minutes. a graphic novel based on the films purports that rage is a recombinant strain of ebola, though its symptoms are similar to that of rabies. animal testing was being performed on the disease but one animal was released by activists unaware of the virus. the infection soon spread to eliminate the entire population of britain save a few lucky individuals who managed to survive. infected organisms die out in a few months, succumbing to starvation, since they do not actually eat their victims. they also seem to drool blood constantly, due to the virus causing massive amounts of adrenaline to be pumped through the body, giving the infected heightened strength and endurance, to the point where they are able to completely overlook devastating injuries, such as loss of limbs. the infected also sport red eye colour, and bleed from the eyes, mouth and nose. rage plague braindead a disease carried by sumatran rat-monkeys, found only on skull island, that kills victims and then reanimates them as zombie-like creatures that desire human flesh. those that are killed will also reanimate as zombies. after prolonged infection, physical mutations may occur, such as gigantism. reaper doomsday reaper causes effects similar to bubonic plague. it appeared in scotland in the year 2008 and killed most of the inhabitants. scotland was put under quarantine. some decades later, reaper reappears in london. a cure is found several days later, but it is unknown whether or not it will be given to the population. red death osmosis jones thrax, the film's main antagonist, was a strain of this disease. symptoms include eventual extreme increase in body temperature (via thrax stealing his host's hypothalamus). most likely a strain of streptococcus. exposure to ethanol is known to kill this disease, as seen when thrax fell into a sample of alcohol during the climax. say the opposite of what you mean disease ace ventura: pet

people in the bar think poorly of ray finkle. severe olfactory syndrome (sos) / severe hearing loss syndrome (shls) perfect sense a disease which slowly causes the hosts to lose their senses. it is unknown what pathogen does cause the disease, and if it spreads from person to person, but is known that it infected people globally, and that at least one human, a newborn in berlin, possibly had antibodies against the disease. the disease starts with a depressive episode, what is then followed by the loss of olfaction. then, humans experience a sudden episode of panic and anxiety, as well as a fit of animalistic hunger, what is then followed by the loss of taste. next, the infected people experience aggression (causing unrest and chaos worldwide), and lose their hearing. and finally, the hosts experience a sudden episode of euphoria, before losing their vision. alz-112, alz-113, "simian flu" planet of the apes (rise, dawn and war) a genetically engineered retrovirus that was created in gen-sys laboratories in san francisco. it was originally designed to be a cure for alzheimer's disease. the alz-112 increased intelligence in apes and cured humans but only for a temporary period because of their immune systems creating antibodies to fight the virus. alz-113 was a stronger version of the drug, but it developed into
