A long list: Almost any virus in the right circumstances can cause severe illness and sometimes death. The obvious dangerous ones include things like rabies, ebola, Marburg virsus, West Nile, Chichungya, enchephalitis and a host of others. Some are more dangerous in the already sick or immunosuppressed such as Herpes and Ebstein=Barr virus.
