Match the Disease to the Pathogen

Given the name of a certain human pathogen, name the disease they cause.

Virus naming is a little trickier; I provided scientific names in italics where I thought it was fair. As you can see, HIV is not the scientific name, but very few people would know that it is a group of lentiviruses.
