      The ones that can last a long time outside the body, like the winter vomiting bug, or the ones that can transmit through the air, like influenza

    Ebola which we’ve heard a lot about in the last few years is very dangerous, the average case fatality rate is around 50%.
    Dengue fever is another one of the most lethal of virus infections, it is a mosquito-borne infection and causes flu-like illness, and occasionally develops into a potentially lethal complication called severe dengue.
