+ Dengue fever, Cause: Diseases spread by insects :: Diseases caused by viruses
  * Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus. In the scientific system that names and classifies viruses, the dengue virus is part of the family 'Flaviviridae' and the genus 'Flavivirus'. Other viruses also belong to the same family and cause disease in humans. Most of these viruses are spread by mosquitoes or ticks.

+ Dengue fever, Diagnosis: Diseases spread by insects :: Diseases caused by viruses
  * A low platelet count and metabolic acidosis are also signs of dengue. If the person has severe dengue, there will also be other changes that can be seen if his blood is studied. Severe dengue causes fluid to leak from the bloodstream. It also causes low levels of albumin levels in the blood.

Dysentery
* causes stomach pains and diarrhoea and sometimes sickness.
* is an infectious disease
  - however the leading cause of death
+ Battle of the Somme, Trenches
  * There was a lot of disease in the trenches. The toilets in the trenches were mainly buckets and holes. This meant that diseases like dysentery spread very quickly. Dysentery causes stomach pains and diarrhoea and sometimes sickness. The body can become very dehydrated which can cause you to die. The water supply in the trenches was not very good.
