Database

Multiple inflammatory lesions in the brain cause severe neurological damage resulting in death

16DNA

Air 1

Gives pathogen ability to bypass air filters. Increase infectivity, especially for plane transmission

16DNA

Air 2

Gives organism ability to survive suspended in air for a long time. Increase infectivity, especially for plane transmission

18DNA

Anaemia

Decrease in red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood can lead to hypoxia in the organs

1DNA

Bird 1

Birds become susceptible to infection. Avian carriers increase infectivity, land transmission and mutation

10DNA

Bird 2

Avian brain tissue compromised causing birds to attack other species. Increases mutation, infectivity and land based transmission

13DNA

Blindness

Severe bleeding in the retina causes blindness. Significantly decreases research speed.

19DNA

Blood 1

Gives organism ability to spread through blood-to-blood contact. Increases infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance

13DNA

Blood 2

Infected bodily fluids able to pass through mucous membranes. Increases infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance

22DNA

Cold Resistance 1

Pathogen evolves to withstand cold temperatures and climates

9DNA

Cold Resistance 2

Lower intracellular water volume prevents freezing. Increased effectiveness in cold climates

22DNA

Coma

Neuropathic effects in the brain stem cause loss of consciousness and sometimes death. Harder for other diseases to kill people that you infect

12DNA

Coughing

Chance of infection by spreading pathogen into surroundings, especially in high density, urban areas

4DNA

Cytokine Storm

Positive feedback loop between cytokines and immune cells causes fatal immune reaction. Easier to kill people that are infected by other diseases

12DNA

Diarrhoea

Pathogen active in digestive tract, causing infection through faeces and potentially lethal dehydration. Poor countries v. vulnerable

10DNA

Droplets 1

Pathogen suspended in expelled liquid particles from victim. Increases infectivity, especially in humid environments

6DNA

Droplets 2

Pathogen accelerates replication whilst in expelled droplets. Increases infectivity, especially in humid environments

9DNA

Drug Resistance 1

Pathogen becomes resistant to class 1 and 2 antibiotics. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries

7DNA

Drug Resistance 2

Pathogen develops resistance to class 3 and 4 antibiotics. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries

27DNA

Dust 1

Gives pathogen ability to travel on dust particles. Increase infectivity, especially in arid environments

5DNA

Dust 2

Pathogen can survive for long periods of time on dust particles. Increase infectivity, especially in arid environments

8DNA

Dysentery

A complete breakdown in the digestive system causes infected sewage, dehydration, starvation and death

19DNA

Environmental Hardening
