Answer 1

Viral disease:The most common viral disease is viral fever.Much more diseases like mumps,measles and rubella are also caused by viruses.Chicken pox,HIV,SARS and Ebola are viral diseases that have been spreading now-a-days.Viruses cannot exist on their own and for survival they need to spread to another host.
