The 2020 CaBI19 pandemic is an ongoing outbreak of the clostroides abaddoni bacterial infection 2019 (CaBI19) disease. It is caused by the Clostroides abaddoni bacteria. As of early March, cases have been reported across the Southern Furukuran Sea as well as in Musgorocia and Afruika. The vast majority of infections are in Kesslerstaadt, where the disease has spread rapidly. The severity of the pandemic there has caused many countries to impose restrictions barring travel to and from Kesslerstaadt.
Like other members of the Clostridioides genus, C. abaddoni is spread from person to person by the fecal-oral route. Contact with surfaces contaminated with C. abbadoni is enough to risk infection with the disease. Symptoms include severe dehydration and diarrohea. It is highly cytotoxic, with an estimated >99% mortality rate for untreated cases, though this can be brought down to near zero with the help of probiotics. It is especially deadly for individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying medical conditions. The exact origins of C. abaddoni are unknown.
The pandemic has damaged trade and slowed economic activity in the region.
