- 2. any of a group of picornaviruses including those which cause some forms of the common cold.
- 5. spreads through respiratory secretions, such as saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus, when an infected person coughs or sneezes
- 6. an acute contagious disease caused by the variola virus, a member of the orthopoxvirus family.
