Description |
| Macrovirus [1] |
USS Voyager uncounted this virus in 2375. Unusually, each individual virus was able to grow to approximately one metre in length. The virus was attracted to body heat. [1] |
| Mandaxic Neurosclerosis [2] |
Mandaxic Neurosclerosis is an illness caused by a silicon-based virus. It is very rare and, in theory, completely curable by culturing infected cells in an active positronic matrix. Thad Troi-Riker suffered from this disease, but by that time the ban on synthetic life meant that there were no active positronic matrices and the ban precluded new ones from being developed. [2] |
| Meenok’s disease [3] |
A degenerative neurological condition which struck the descendants of Earth’s first lunar colonists. Meenok's bore a strong similarity to several other, more benign conditions. As a result it was often misdiagnosed until the patient was in the final terminal stages. Victims of the disease typically remained lucid, whilst experiencing extreme debilitating pain during the final stages. [3]
In 2365 Commodore Reyes was informed that his mother had been diagnosed with late-stage Meenok's disease, and had only months to live. Because of his distance from Earth, he was unable to return home to be with her. [3] |
| Melvaran Mud Flea Virus [4] |
A disease which affected Humans in the mid 23rd century. There was a readily available vaccine for the virus, though it came with the same symptoms as the virus itself - a bad headache, a flop sweat, loss of vision in the left eye and nausea. In extreme cases the reaction to the vaccine could lead to very swollen hands, a dangerously high heart rate, and numb tongue. James Kirk was given the vaccine by Leonard McCoy in 2358 so that, as McCoy's patient, he could be taken aboard the Enteprise in spite of his academic suspension. Kirk had the most extreme reaction to the vaccine that McCoy had seen since medical school. [4] |
| Memory Virus [5] |
Organism which thrives on peptides generated by a hosts brain. It avoids the bodies immune systems by disguising itself as an engram. [5] |
| Mendakan Pox [6] |
Disease characterised by skin mottling. Harry Kim suffered from it in 2368. [6] |
| Metremia [7] |
Condition caused by exposure to the Metreon radiation produced in the Metreon Cascade weapon. Metremia can have little effect on its victims for years afterwards and can be difficult to detect. Doctor Jetrel, creator of the Metreon Cascade, died of Metremia. [7] |
| Miri's Virus [8] |
Virus encountered in 2266 by the crew of the USS Enterprise. The virus cause extremely slow aging in sufferers until they reached puberty when extremely rapid aging took place. [8] |
