Imagine you are studying a mysterious disease caused by newly identified virus that is transmitted to humans through fomites. This is a slowly progressing illness with a very long incubation period; typically lasting four months following initial contact with the virus. Infected individuals slowly develop signs and symptoms over the next several months as the virus spreads throughout the body, infecting multiple organs. Symptoms include gradual onset of fever, night-sweats, chills, muscle aches, and fatigue. Patients eventually recover following a long convalescent period.

Imagine you are studying a mysterious disease transmitted to humans by fomites. The incubation period for this virus is very short; only 3 days from the initial contact with the virus. Infected individuals develop a fever, coughing, runny nose, and fatigue. The signs and symptoms come on rapidly, with severe but short-lived effects. An analysis of patient sputum samples revealed that this infection is not caused by a single microbe, rather multiple microbes cause the infection by multiplying at the same body site simultaneously.
