Neo4j - Relationship Modeling Issue

I have 2 CSV files exported from mysql :

# Disease CSV Headers # Disease Master ID (autoincrement, pk) disease_name

# Tests CSV Headers # Test Master ID (autoincrement, pk), test_name, parent_disease_ID (points to ID column in Disease.
Master tbl)

I run following cypher commands :

    LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM.   
   "http://localhost/disease_mstr.csv" AS line
    MERGE (d:Disease {did: toInteger(line.ID),  diseasename: 
    line.disease_name})

    LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM.  
   "http://localhost/test_mstr.csv" AS line
    MERGE (d:Tests {tid: toInteger(line.ID),  testname: 
    line.test_name, did: toInteger(line.parent_disease_ID)})

   MATCH (t:Tests), (d:Disease) CREATE (t:Tests)- 
   [r:TEST_FOR]->(d:Disease) RETURN t, r, d

Above cypher returns one disease connected to many tests whereas i want just the reverse! Can someone please correct me?

[EDITED]

In the query that creates the relationships, you need to filter for Tests and Disease nodes that share the same did value:

MATCH (t:Tests), (d:Disease)
WHERE t.did = d.did
MERGE (t)-[r:TEST_FOR]->(d)
RETURN t, r, d;

This query also replaced CREATE with MERGE to avoid creating duplicate TEST_FOR relationships between the same t and d pair. If you already have such duplicate relationships, delete them first.

Also, for efficiency, you should consider creating in index on either :Disease(did) or :Tests(did) -- whichever has the most instances.

You could create the disease nodes, test nodes and relationship between test and disease nodes in one pass of the tests file.

LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS 
FROM "http://localhost/test_mstr.csv" 
AS line
MERGE (disease:Disease {did: toInteger(line.parent_disease_ID)})
MERGE (test:Tests {tid: toInteger(line.ID), testname: 
line.test_name})
MERGE (test)-[r:TEST_FOR]->(did)

And then update the disease names after the fact in a second pass.

LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS 
FROM "http://localhost/disease_mstr.csv" AS line
MERGE (d:Disease {did: toInteger(line.ID)})
SET d.diseasename = line.disease_name
