The virus is likely replicated in the infected's saliva and/or blood. Transmission occurs via the introduction of an infected individual's bodily fluids into a healthy person's bloodstream. ![]() Infected hosts still somewhat rely on other parts of their body than their brain to survive. The virus is also not like your average zombie infection. In most cases, victims exhibit hyperaggressive behavior, but certain types of infected ( bolters, screamers) seem to have a heightened flight response. The virus seems to cause a hyperactive reaction of the fight-or-flight response in victims once they pass from the initial symptoms to full-on zombified state. However, the spread of the virus within a victim's body can be stopped if the bitten limb is amputated quickly enough, as was the case when Karim had Erol Asani's lower left leg amputated shortly after he was bitten, thus saving Asani from infection. The bite of an infected, being direct fluid exchange, is fast enough to guarantee infection before UV radiation can kill the virus. ![]() ![]() This light intolerance is also exhibited by some of the more mutated victims of the virus, with some of these creatures being nocturnal and repelled by the UV Flashlight, UV Flares, and the UV lamps that surround Safe Zones. The virus itself is extremely light-intolerant exposure to ultraviolet radiation, and consequently sunlight, will kill the virus incredibly quickly. The virus is mentioned as being an apparent mutation of rabies, though its true origins remain a mystery.
