Abscesses
SymptomsPockets of infected flesh are painful and act as breeding grounds for the pathogen, increasing infection rates when burst
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
Anaemia
SymptomsDecrease in red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood can lead to hypoxia in the organs
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
Cysts
SymptomsPainful lumps containing pockets of the pathogen. Slight chance of bursting which can spread disease
Diarrhoea
SymptomsPathogen active in digestive tract, causing infection through faeces and potentially lethal dehydration. Poor countries v. vulnerable
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
Extreme Bioaerosol
TransmissionsPathogen bypasses air/water filters due to adaptive cellular shell. Increase infectivity, especially in humid & arid climates and plane/ship transmission.
Extreme Hematophagy
TransmissionsPathogen uses host lymphocytes to replicate. Increase in infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance
Extreme Zoonosis
TransmissionsInfection crosses multiple species barriers. Increase infectivity, especially in rural and urban areas, mutation chance and cross-country transmission
Fever
SymptomsIncrease in temperature, contagiousness and severe dehydration, which can be fatal
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
