A Newly Emerged Infectious Disease Whose Pathogen Cause Has Not

question 26

True/False

A newly emerged infectious disease whose pathogen cause has not yet been identified is lethal in more than 90% of cases. Epidemiological evidence suggests that this pathogen is transmitted only through direct contact with the blood of ill or recently deceased patients. Patient blood and tissue samples would best be handled at BSL- 2 until more information can be learned about the pathogen.
