“Disease X” is an abstract disease that has the potential to cause an international epidemic. It is believed that such an epidemic would most likely be caused by a pathogen unknown to humanity.
In 2018, WHO included “Disease X” in its list of priority diseases to speed up research into the pathogen, which could potentially lead to a new pandemic. According to the head of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, the “X” in the name means “surprise.” In 2020, WHO stated that the first “pathogen X” should rightfully be recognized as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which caused the COVID-19 pandemic.
