Database

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

3DNA

Air 1

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

15DNA

Air 2

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

23DNA

Anaemia

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

0DNA

Auto-Immune Support 1

Pathogen improves the immune system's defences. Other diseases find it harder to infect people who are infected with your disease

23DNA

Auto-Immune Support 2

Pathogen greatly improves the immune system's defences. Other diseases find it harder to infect people who are infected with your disease

38DNA

Benign Mimic

Unlock an Active Ability that forces a country to focus cure efforts on the other disease, whilst your disease hides

7DNA

Bird 1

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

11DNA

Bird 2

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

14DNA

Blindness

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

14DNA

Blood 1

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

10DNA

Blood 2

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

17DNA

Cold Resistance 1

Pathogen evolves to withstand cold temperatures and climates

8DNA

Cold Resistance 2

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

14DNA

Coma

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

0DNA

Corpse DNA 1

Gain a regular DNA income linked to the number of deaths your Pathogen has caused

Corpse DNA 2

Gain a regular DNA income linked to the number of deaths your Pathogen has caused

Coughing

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

4DNA

Cysts

Lumps form around pockets of other pathogens. Slightly harder for another disease to infect or kill a person you already infect

3DNA

Cytokine Storm

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

Diarrhoea

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

7DNA

Droplets 1

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

5DNA

Droplets 2

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