Another virus originated from a mutation in a mood drug in the upper levels of New New York on New Earth; this one, however, was airbourne. (TV: Gridlock)
The race known as the Viyrans were known for cataloguing and creating various biological weapons such as viruses, some of which were stored in the Amethyst Viral Containment Station. (AUDIO: Patient Zero)
The Daleks at one time experimented on viruses in order to create a strain that converted lifeforms into Dalek mutants. (AUDIO: Patient Zero)
