Bioterrorism - A bioterrorist attack releases viruses, bacteria, or other germs to cause illness or death.

Bird Flu - Avian influenza (avian flu or bird flu) causes the bird infectin can change (mutate) to infect humans.

Bladder Infection - A urinary tract infection or UTI is a bacterial infection that can happen anywhere along the urinary tract.

Bocavirus Infection - Bocavirus infection is usually only found in those with lower respiratory infections or diarrhea.

Botulism - Botulism is a rare kind of food poisoning.  The disease is an intoxication caused by extremely potent toxins preformed in foods.

Brucellosis - Brucellosis is an infectious disease that occurs from contact with animals carrying Brucella bacteria.

Cat Scratch Disease - Cat scratch disease is an infection that causes swelling of the lymph nodes after an animal scratch.

Chagas Disease - Chagas disease is a human tropical parasitic disease. It is common in Latin America but not in the United States

Chickenpox (Varicella) - Chickenpox is a highly contagious illness caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV). In this disease, a person develops extremely itchy blisters all over the body. It's most common in kids under age 12, but anyone can get chickenpox.

Cholera - Cholera is an infection of the small intestine that causes a large amount of watery diarrhea that can rapidly lead to dehydration.

Coxsackie Virus - The Coxsackie virus is actually a virus that lives in a person's digestive tract, and can be transferred from person to person.

Cryptococcosis - Cryptococcosis is an infection caused by fungi that belong to the genus Cryptococcus.

Cryptosporidiosis - Cryptosporidiosis (crypto) is an illness caused by a parasite Cryptosporidium that causes diarrhea. It affects the intestines of mammals and is typically an acute short-term infection.

Cysticercosis - Cysticercosis is an infection caused by Taenia sodium, the pork tapeworm, that creates cysts in different areas in the body.

Diphtheria - Diphtheria is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening bacterial disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae.

Encephalitis and Meningitis - Meningitis and encephalitis are two diseases that are often linked with each other.  Meningitis and encephalitis are inflammatory diseases of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord and are caused by bacterial or viral infections.

Gangrene - Gangrene is the death of tissue in part of the body.

Guinea Worm Disease - a debilitating parasitic infection

List of Deadly Diseases

AIDS/HIV - AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). As HIV progressively damages immune system cells, the body becomes more vulnerable to infections, which it will have difficulty in fighting off.

Asthma - Asthma is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that causes the airways of the lungs to swell and narrow, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease - Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative brain disorder that is caused by abnormal brain proteins called prions.

Diabetes Type 2 - Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and occurs mainly in people aged over 40. With Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well.

Ebola - Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe disease in humans and in nonhuman primates in the form of viral hemorrhagic fever. The Ebola virus belongs to the Filoviridae family (filovirus) and is comprised of five distinct species: Zaïre, Sudan, Côte d’Ivoire, Bundibugyo and Reston.

Hemorrhagic fevers - Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) refer to a group of illnesses that are caused by several distinct families of viruses.

Influenza - Influenza (commonly referred to as the flu), one of the most common infectious diseases, that affects mainly the nose, throat, bronchi and, occasionally, lungs.

Lung Cancer - Lung cancer is a disease in which the cells of lung tissues grow uncontrollably and form tumors.

Polio (Poliomyelitis) - Poliomyelitis is a contagious, historically devastating disease that can affect nerves and can lead to partial or full paralysis.

Rabies - Rabies is a deadly viral infection that is mainly spread by infected animals.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus - Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a long-term autoimmune disorder that may affect the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs.

List of Lung Diseases

Lung disease is any disease or disorder that occurs in the lungs or that causes the lungs to not work properly.

Acute Bronchitis - Acute bronchitis describes the inflammation of the bronchi usually caused by a viral infection. Acute bronchitis may be contagious if it's caused by a viral infection.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) - ARDS is a severe lung syndrome caused by a variety of direct and indirect issues. It is a life-threatening lung condition that prevents enough oxygen from getting to the lungs and into the blood.

Asbestosis - Asbestosis is a disease that involves a scarring of lung tissue as a result of breathing in asbestos fibers. Asbestos is a natural mineral product that's resistant to heat and corrosion.

Asthma - Asthma is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that causes the airways of the lungs to swell and narrow, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.

Bronchiectasis - Bronchiectasis is an abnormal widening of one or more airways. If the condition is present at birth, it is called congenital bronchiectasis. If it develops later in life, it is called acquired bronchiectasis.

Bronchiolitis - Bronchiolitis is swelling and mucus buildup in the smallest air passages in the lungs (bronchioles), usually due to a viral infection.

Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia (BOOP) - BOOP is a swelling of the small airways in the lung. The swelling causes blockages in the outermost parts of the lung.

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia - Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a serious lung disease in infants. It is a chronic lung condition that affects newborn babies who were either put on a breathing machine after birth or were born very early (prematurely).

Byssinosis - Byssinosis (brown lung disease) is a lung disease caused by exposure to dusts from cotton processing, hemp and flax.
