	My Literal translation is "dead body" which is not very helpful ! ! ! Found this on web, still not very helpful I'm afraid. Morbus - Latin word for disease. In the last century, when applied to a particular disease, morbus was associated with some qualifying adjective or noun, indicating the nature or seat of such disease. Examples: morbus cordis, heart disease; morbus caducus, epilepsy or failing sickness.

Many thanks for your endeavour on my behalf Best wishes Valerie
