Pathogenesis
Shigella infection is typically via ingestion (fecal-oral contamination); depending on age and condition of the host, as few as 10 bacterial cells can be enough to cause an infection.

Certain pathogenic RNAs, such as viroids and some satellite RNAs, are circular RNAs. They replicate by a rolling circle mechanism.
The long multi-unit RNAs cleave in vitro without the addition of cleavage enzymes.

virulent
Capable of overcoming a host's defense mechanisms and causing a disease sometimes of rapid onset and severe symptoms.

For other pathogens, I think similar research is going on. Anthrax is really quite a unique situation because the different strains, from all over the world, are almost identical in sequence.
