###Approximate percent of infection for global population in parentheses - (%)
>H-Pylori (50%)
Extremely prevalent and often asymptomatic. All positive cases result in inflammation and increased risk of cancer. Treatment is complicated by biofilms and ubiquity of bacteria; eg raw vegetables, oral route via hands, shared utensils, etc. Previous antibiotic usage might increase vulnerability.
>Tuberculosis (25%)
Generally asymptomatic and non-infectious in latent stage, but quite pervasive and extremely easy to spread when active. Treatment requires an almost impractically long duration of antibiotics and resistance is a substantial risk.
>MRSA and fellow mutants (?%)
>Toxoplasma Gondii (50%?)
There have been a few interesting threads on HN, with a significant number of comments expressing surprise and previous ignorance of this terrible creature, specifically its proposed ability to alter behaviour in hosts, including schizophrenia. Also notable are its presence in many households by route of cat (non-culinary) or rare beef (non-ornamental) and a typically dormant but voracious appetite for the heart and brain when inspired by circumstances.
>HPV (?%)
>Candida; eg Candida Auris (?%) - Emergent?
>C-Difficile (5%)
Although infectious, many may carry it asymptomatically until aggravated through antibiotics. Percentage of infected varies wildly, dependent on environment, eg hospitals. Complications have a significant mortality rate.
>Herpes Variants; eg EBV, etc. (?%)
>CJD Variants, TSE, etc. (?%)
I've included this due to zoonotic variants, eg CWD, Scrapie, BSE, etc. Worth noting is the unusually long dormancy potential of related diseases and absence of any treatment.
>Pinworms (11.4%) Incident Rate in USA and much higher elsewhere
Apparently a universal rite of passage
Finally, if I've presented something stupidly, constructive clarification is preferable to Hanlon's Truncheon. *Hanlon's Truncheon: Attribute malice to and hastily beat the living hell out of anything that seems unintelligent or confused.
