Bird

Bird
Info	1st Stage: Birds become susceptible to infection. Avian carriers increase infectivity, land transmission and mutation 2nd Stage: Avian brain tissue compromised causing birds to attack other species. Increases mutation, infectivity and land based transmission.
Initial DNA Cost	12 (1st Stage) 18 (2nd Stage)
Stats	+3 Infectivity, +9 Land Transmission (1st Stage) +6 Infectivity, +90 Land Transmission (2nd Stage)
Mutation	+1 (1st Stage) +2 (2nd Stage)
Next Transmission	Extreme Zoonosis

Bird is a basic Transmission present in most Plagues. By making birds a source of contagion, it increases Infectivity, specially through Land, and Mutation.

Neurax Worm

The Neurax Worm variant slightly increases Severity, which may result in an early detection of the disease. It makes the Worms a food source for birds, but helps them survive and thrive in the bird's digestive tract, increasing Infectivity and Land Transmission. It does not increase Mutation.

Trait	Description
1st Stage	"Worms become a food source for birds, but many survive in the digestive tract, allowing increased transmission"
2nd Stage	"Worms develop the ability to breed in the bird's digestive tract, allowing greater distribution and transmission"

Necroa Virus

Trait	Description
1st Stage	"Host range broadens to include birds. Increases infectivity, land transmission and mutation chance
2nd Stage	"Partial genetic activation triggers random bird attacks on humans. Significantly increases infectivity and land transmission"

Government Actions

Standard Plagues

If the first stage of this Transmission is evolved, after the disease is noticed, governments may start to exterminate pigeons, decreasing national Infection rates by 4. If this first action is taken, and the second stage is evolved, governments may start to exterminate all birds, decreasing national Infection rates by 6, and the country's Public Order by 0.01.
