These are the deadliest VIRUSES the world has ever seen
MARBURG Virus: Marburg virus creates a hemorrhagic fever virus, which means it causes blood to escape from the circulatory system. The Soviet Union even had an offensive and defensive biological weapons program that included the Marburg virus. fatality rates range from 24% to 88% and it is transmitted and humans to humans
EBOLA VIRUS: Ebola virus disease is a hemorrhagic fever that is often fatal in humans. Its average fatality rate is 50% and can cause bleeding, usually from the eyes, and organ failure. it is transmitted to humans from wild animals, and from humans to humans.
HIV: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS). AIDS is a progressive immune system failure which allows infections and cancers to thrive. Without treatment average survival time after being infected with HIV is 9 to 11 years.
Small pox: was an infections disease caused by 2 virus variants.it results in fever, rash, and oozing pustules that develop all over the skin. smallpox was responsible for 300. 500 million deaths in the 20th century but it was declared eradicated in 1980.
Dengue: the infection brought on by the dengue virus is the leading cause of death in the tropics and subtropics. it causes fever, headaches, and hemorrhaging. you contract dengue by getting bit by an infected mosquito. There are an estimated 100 million cases of dengue each year, with an estimated 25,000 of those resulting in death.
Hantavirus can develop into hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which has a 36 % fatality rate. it is airborne and humans can contract it by breathing air infected with hantaviruses that are shed in rodent urine and feces.
Rabies: Rabies is almost always fatal following the onset of clinical symptoms. it can cause delirium and violent behavior. and as rabies spreads to the central nervous system, the brain and spinal cord fatality inflame. dogs are the number one carriers of rabies. Luckily rabies is vaccine-preventable and immediate treatment can keep the virus from developing.
Influenza: No disease has claimed more worldwide pandemics than influenza. the outbreak of the Spanish flu in 1918 caused 50 million deaths in 2 years. and the swine flu in 2009 saw 89 million infections. vaccines exist but the influenza virus is constantly mutating and creating new strains. better stock up on hand sanitizer.
