Andronesian encephalitis pathogen

The pathogen of Andronesian encephalitis

Andronesian encephalitis was an unpleasant, but not life-threatening, disease transmitted by airborne particles. It was common in Federation space due to the transmission of the particles via space travel.

In 2152, when Phlox insisted on examining Travis Mayweather, he justified this with the possibility that Mayweather could suffer a seizure at the helm due to Andronesian encephalitis. (ENT: "Singularity")

In 2154, a sample of this disease's pathogen was stored at Cold Station 12. (ENT: "Cold Station 12")

Although the disease was easily treated and regarded as a minor condition by 2365, Anya, the guardian of Salia, Dauphin of Daled IV, regarded the condition as a threat and requested that Hennesey, who was suffering from the disease, be terminated. She was about to do so when Worf stopped her. (TNG: "The Dauphin")

In the script for "The Dauphin", Doctor Pulaski explained to Anya that Hennessey contracted the disease when the transporter filter was disrupted by a cosmic ray blast.
