That would protect people from the Lyme bacteria and possibly other pathogens that can cause even more lethal diseases, such as Powassan, which kills about 10 percent of its victims.
The defect of robust genes could cause more lethal diseases, such as cancer and aging diseases.
Hence, many are endeavouring to identify molecular factors that could mediate progression to therapy resistance and more lethal metastatic disease.
At least one study suggests that cynomolgus macaques are more susceptible to lethal disease [ 157], but this would require a more thorough investigation.
The smallpox vaccine turned out to be far more lethal than the disease outbreak itself, which had claimed only two lives.
Other more lethal mosquito-borne diseases occur in this country.
Additional prospective epidemiologic studies with the ability to look at the more aggressive forms of prostate cancer are needed to identify etiologic factors associated with the more lethal form of this disease.
This confirms and extends observations from 111 men in the expectant management cohort from Örebro where men with ERG rearranged prostate cancer were significantly more likely to have lethal disease than men with fusion negative tumors (cumulative incidence ratio = 2.7, p-value < 0.01, 95% CI = [1.3,5.8]) [ 50].
In both the present and previous reports, MERS-CoV challenge in the rhesus macaque models resulted in transient infection of the lower respiratory tract (de Wit et al., 2013a, de Wit et al., 2013b, Munster et al., 2013, Yao et al., 2013) and the more severe or even lethal disease course frequently associated with human cases was not observed herein (van den Brand et al., 2015).
