  2. 4. a contagious bacterial disease characterized by fever and delirium, typically with the formation of buboes and sometimes infection of the lungs.
  3. 5. an acute contagious viral disease, with fever and pustules usually leaving permanent scars. It was effectively eradicated through vaccination by 1979.
  4. 6. infection by a fungus found in the droppings of birds and bats in humid areas. It is not serious if confined to the lungs but can be fatal if spread throughout the body.
  5. 9. a severe infectious bacterial disease of animals transmissible to humans, characterized by ulcers at the site of infection, fever, and loss of weight.
  6. 12. a novel positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus of the genus Betacoronavirus.
  7. 13. a bacterial disease typically affecting cattle and buffalo and causing undulant fever in humans.
  8. 14. a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory passages causing fever, severe aching, and catarrh, and often occurring in epidemics.
