Some require direct body fluid contact, influenza, hiv, chicken ox, small pox, Ebola, avian flu. West Nile is most often transmitted by mosquito's.

Most of these are difficult to transfer, except influenza because they can also be transferred air born. If west Nile manages to mutate a little more it will be air born and then we are in serious trouble. Ebola has mutated in specific instances in the past to air born transfer, but changed on the molecular level and was less deadly....thank goodness.

All of the listed can be fatal if your immune system is not adequate for your body to fight. If you contract Ebola, just kiss your a** good by.
