Do you have examples of diseases named after a virus? I cannot think if any. (Edit: I found Ebola virus disease, Maburg virus disease and Nipah virus disease.)

- escape_goat 7y agoSorry not to catch this question. COVID-19, "Coronavirus disease 2019," is a disease named after a virus. The virus itself is now named "severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2," or SARS-CoV-2, and hence is a virus named after a disease.

- kgwgk 7y agoMiddle East respiratory syndrome is the disease. The virus is named after the disease: Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
