Infuenza (Spanish Flu) More Americans died than were killed during World War I, WWII, Korean and
Vietnam wars combined (about 2 million)
Pandemic (world wide epidemic) that killed 50 million
Due to an antigenic drift
Small Pox Over 300 million people killed, making it one of the biggest killers in history
Since the development of the vaccine no deaths reported since 1977 (said to be
eradicated)
Categorized as a Biological Warfare Agent (30% mortality)
Black Plague 1/3 of the population of Europe (about 25 million) perished during one epidemic
from 1346-1350
Antibiotics are available and control this disease
Categorized as a Biological Warfare Agent
New Emerging Diseases Legionnaire's Disease (1976)
Lyme Disease
AIDS (1980s)
Hantavirus (1993)
Mad Cow Disease (1986)
Ebola (2015)
Asian Flu/H2N2 (1957), Swine Flu/H1N1 (2009)
Due to antigenic shift
Bird Flu/H5N1 (1997)

Antigenic Drift Vaccine efficacy wanes with time as new surface antigens appear from mutations in
genes encoding them. Changes to the flu virus that happen slowly over time. This
causes the changes to the seasonal flu that require us to get vaccinated against the
flu each year
Antigenic Shift Results when two different flu strains combine and infect the same cell.
Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Subgroup of dangerous and feared viral pathogens
Most lethal infectious agents known
Handled by the CDC under biosafety level 4.
Ex's:
- Hantavirus (endemic to the US)
- Marburg Virus (Germany)
Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, Parasites 4 Kinds of Microorganisms that can lead to disease
Industrial Microbiology Conversion of raw material to desirable end products by selected microorganisms.
Utilization of microbes in manufacturing process. The old belief was the study of
the fermentation process ==> production of beer and wine
Primary Metabolites products are necessary for microbial growth (amino acids, alcohol, organic acids)
Secondary Metabolites products are not necessary for microbial growth (antibiotics, steroids, etc.)
