Hemorrhagic fever. The mortality rate is effectively 100%. You bleed to death from the inside out.

Hmmm, how is it that we never heard of this sort of disease from the annals of the early explorers?

It was in the jungles, stayed in the jungles, until a bunch of morons decided to go exploring in the jungles and brought back all sorts of bugs with them.
