Air 1
TransmissionsGives pathogen ability to travel on dust particles. Increase infectivity, especially in arid environments and plane transmission
Air 2
TransmissionsGives organism ability to survive suspended in air for a long time. Increases infectivity, especially in arid environments and plane transmission
Bacterial Pneumonia
AbilitiesPathogen damages pulmonary lining, allowing lethal secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics will reduce impact
Bird 1
TransmissionsBirds become susceptible to infection. Avian carriers increase infectivity, land transmission and mutation
Bird 2
TransmissionsAvian brain tissue compromised causing birds to attack other species. Increases mutation, infectivity and land based transmission
Blood 1
TransmissionsGives organism ability to spread through blood-to-blood contact. Increases infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance
Blood 2
TransmissionsInfected bodily fluids able to pass through mucous membranes. Increases infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance
Cold Resistance 1
AbilitiesPathogen evolves to withstand cold temperatures and climates
Cold Resistance 2
AbilitiesLower intracellular water volume prevents freezing. Increased effectiveness in cold climates
Coma
SymptomsNeuropathic effects in the brain stem cause loss of consciousness and sometimes death. Significantly harder to cure
Coughing
SymptomsChance of infection by spreading pathogen into surroundings, especially in high density, urban areas
Cytokine Storm
SymptomsPositive feedback loop between cytokines and immune cells causes fatal immune reaction. Can offer insights into cure development
Diarrhoea
SymptomsPathogen active in digestive tract, causing infection through faeces and potentially lethal dehydration. Poor countries v. vulnerable
Droplets 1
TransmissionsPathogen suspended in expelled liquid particles from victim. Increase infectivity, especially on planes
Droplets 2
TransmissionsPathogen able to survive for longer in expelled droplets. Increase infectivity, especially on planes
Drug Resistance 1
AbilitiesPathogen becomes resistant to class 1 and 2 antivirals. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries
Drug Resistance 2
AbilitiesPathogen develops resistance to class 3 and 4 antivirals. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries
Dysentery
SymptomsA complete breakdown in the digestive system causes infected sewage, dehydration, starvation and death
Environmental Hardening
AbilitiesPathogen develops hardened coating - becoming highly weather resistant and extremely comfortable in both hot and cold climates
Epistaxis
SymptomsHaemorrhage of the nasal mucous membranes causes severe nosebleeds, increasing likelihood of infection.
Extreme Bioaerosol
TransmissionsPathogen bypasses air/water filters due to adaptive cellular shell. Increase infectivity, especially in humid & arid climates and plane/ship transmission.
Extreme Zoonosis
TransmissionsInfection crosses multiple species barriers. Increase infectivity, especially in rural and urban areas, mutation chance and cross-country transmission
Fatigue
SymptomsExtreme tiredness makes people weaker and less productive
Fever
SymptomsIncrease in temperature, contagiousness and severe dehydration, which can be fatal
