Abstract. MERS (Middle EastRespiratory Syndrome) is a worldwide disease these days. The number of infected people is 1038(08/03/2015) in Saudi Arabia and 186(08/03/2015) in South Korea. MERS is all over the world including Europe and the fatality rate is 38.8%, East Asia and the Middle East. The MERS is also known as a cousin of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) because both diseases show similar symptoms such as high fever and difficulty in breathing. This is why we compared MERS with SARS. We used data of the spike glycoprotein from NCBI. As a way of analyzing the protein, apriori algorithm, decision tree, SVM were used, and particularly SVM was iterated by normal, polynomial, and sigmoid. The result came out that the MERS and the SARS are alike but also different in some way.

Abstract-EbolaVirus, which has high facilities up to 90%, is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. It is mostly occurred in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests and their host are bats. In this paper, we analyzed the DNA sequences of 5 Ebolavirus : Bundibugyo Ebolavirus, Reston Ebolavirus, Sudan Ebolavirus, TaiForest Ebolavirus, and Zaire Ebolavirus and investigated the difference between them based on the genus they are involved in. Furthermore, we look for the frequency of the amino acid and find the similarities between the Ebolaviruses.Index Terms-Ebolavirus, bundibugyo ebolavirus, reston ebolavirus, sudan ebolavirus, taiforest ebolavirus, zaire ebolavirus, decision tree, apriori algorithm.

H3N2, H5N1 and H5N8 virus were widespread epidemic in South Korea. Especially in 2014 Korea, the serious outbreak of avian influenza caused by H5N8 took place, effecting not only birds but also dogs. Antibody of H5N8 virus was found on a dog which differentiated the virus from existing H3N2 canine virus. At this point, we wanted to find out why H5N8 was self-medicated in dogs and whether H5N8 would cross species boundaries and be fatal to dogs or other species. While H5N1 is avian influenza like H5N8, many cases of fatal infections among dogs caused by H5N1 have been reported. Another kind of avian influenza, H3N2 is most common type of canine influenza in Asia. With the use of decision tree and apriori algorithm, we could find out characteristics of H5N8 by comparing it with H5N1 and H3N2.
