Infections associated with diseases factors to induce disease. For example: in a murine model, Crohn's disease can be precipitated by a norovirus, but only when both a specific gene variant is present and a certain toxin has damaged the gut. A list of the more common and well-known diseases associated with infectious pathogens is provided and is not intended to be a complete listing. Infectious pathogen-associated diseases include many of the most common and costly chronic illnesses. The treatment of chronic diseases accounts for 75% of all US healthcare costs (amounting to $1.7 trillion in 2009). One of first examples of systematic study of
