Synthococcus novae is the scientific name for a lethal bacillus strain of bacteria that evolved sometime prior to the 2150s, a by-produced of aseptic sterilized civilizations.

By 2269, [[Federation]] medicine had no cure for the disease but could immunize against it. Infected persons, who could be carriers of the disease without suffering its effects, were required to stay in environmentally-controlled technologically advanced areas to prevent its spread. This deadly, highly virulent and contagious disease is a significant health hazard to any uncivilized world.

Current treatment: any broad spectrum antibiotic may be tried, however, if detected, isolation of the infected and immunization for entire population are recommended.

Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, anorexia, diarrhea, dehydration, and delirium. If not treated, the patient will fall into a coma and die shortly after.
