Abscesses
SymptomsPockets of infected flesh are painful and act as breeding grounds for the pathogen, increasing infection rates when burst
Acute Encephalitis
SymptomsMultiple inflammatory lesions in the brain cause severe neurological damage resulting in death
Ataxia
SymptomsCerebellum becomes vulnerable to infection, impairing victims' coordination, balance and speech
Avocado
TransmissionsPathogen spreads through consumption of avocado. Increases infectivity, especially in rich countries
Beef
TransmissionsPathogen spreads through consumption of beef. Increases infectivity and chance of mutation. Popular in rich countries
Blindness
SymptomsPrimary visual cortex disconnected causing blindness. Significantly reduces awareness and causes fatal accidents
Broccoli
TransmissionsPathogen spreads through consumption of broccoli. Slightly increases infectivity
Cannibalism
SymptomsExtreme compulsion to bite and eat other humans - significantly increasing infectivity as well as lethality
Cold Resistance 1
AbilitiesPathogen is naturally used to withstanding cold temperatures and climates
Cold Resistance 2
AbilitiesHardened virus capsid ensures pathogen survival in extremely cold environments
Coma
SymptomsNeuropathic effects in the brain stem cause loss of consciousness and sometimes death. Significantly harder to cure
Confusion
SymptomsDopamine production stimulated to cause bouts of confusion in host. Harder to concentrate on complex work
Coughing
SymptomsChance of infection by spreading pathogen into surroundings, especially in high density, urban areas
Dairy
TransmissionsPathogen spreads through consumption of dairy products, such as milk and cheese. Increases infectivity and chance of mutation
Delirium
SymptomsReduction in cognitive function causes irrationality and paranoia. Can be fatal and significantly slows future research speed
Dysphagia
SymptomsDifficulty swallowing causes occasional coughing when eating. Slight increase in infectivity.
Environmental Hardening
AbilitiesPathogen develops hardened coating - becoming highly weather resistant and extremely comfortable in both hot and cold climates
Fish
TransmissionsPathogen spreads through consumption of ocean travelling and farm raised fish stocks. Increases infectivity and chance of mutation
Frozen Storage Resilience
TransmissionsCell-adapted shifts in protein structure lets pathogen thrive over long food supply chains. Increases ship and plane transmission
Genetic Hardening 1
AbilitiesPathogen becomes harder to analyse in the lab. Decreases future research speed
Genetic Hardening 2
AbilitiesThe pathogen does not reproduce in lab conditions. Decreases future research speed
Genetic ReShuffle 1
AbilitiesPathogen DNA strands reassembled. More work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 2
AbilitiesA new strain of the pathogen now exists, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 3
AbilitiesMultiple strains of the pathogen now exist, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
