Diseases with k = 1 are Ebola hemorrhagic fever, avian influenza H5N1, cholera, and hand, foot, and mouth disease; those with k > 1 are the influenza H1N1 2009 pand...

The case fatality rate (CFR) for the 2014 Ebola outbreak in west Africa has been widely reported to be much lower than for most previous outbreaks. However, this low rate is not necessarily a feature of the infection itself. Rather, it is likely to be the result of a failure to account for delays between disease onset and fi nal outcome.
