Type of disease (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

virus

(Other definitions for virus that I've seen before include "One infecting human, computer" , "Bodily or computer infection" , "Cause of computer failure?" , "computer problem" , "Infectious particle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
