Transmissions
Compare
Air 1
Virus bypasses alveolar macrophages in lungs to enter bloodstream. Increase infectivity, especially in arid environments and plane transmission
Air 2
Virus can travel on dust particles. Increases infectivity, especially in arid environments and plane transmission
Air 3
Virus replicates rapidly in aerosoled brain matter. Significantly increases risk of infection if interacting with zombie brains
Bat 1
Host range broadens to include bats which are hard to detect. Increases infectivity and mutation chance
Bat 2
Partial genetic activation causes bats to mob and attack humans at night. Significantly increases infectivity and attacks can be lethal
Bird 1
Host range broadens to include birds. Increases infectivity, land transmission and mutation chance
Bird 2
Partial genetic activation triggers random bird attacks on humans. Significantly increases infectivity and land transmission
Blood 1
Virus enters the circulatory system, blood is now a transmission vector. Poor countries particularly vulnerable
Blood 2
Virus can replicate directly in the blood stream, significantly increasing infectivity. Poor countries particularly vulnerable
Gastrointestinal Expansion
Virus can replicate in stomach and intestine, increasing infectiousness through faeces and vomit
Insect
Insects susceptible to infection. Carriers increase infectivity, especially in hot climates and chance of mutation
Rodent 1
Host range broadens to include rats. Increases infectivity, especially in urban regions and mutation chance
Rodent 2
Partial genetic activation causes rat packs to attack humans. Significantly increases infectivity, especially in urban regions
Saliva 1
Virus replicates faster in salivary glands - increasing chance of infection through contact with saliva
Saliva 2
Virus replicates directly in nasal cavity - significantly increasing chance of infection through contact with mucus
Segmented Genome
Virus splits its genome into smaller molecules - increasing the likelihood of a viable mutation during transmission
Urogenital Expansion
Virus can replicate in kidneys and urinary tract, increasing infectiousness through urine and other bodily fluids
Water 1
Virus can survive outside the body in fresh, warm water. Increase infectivity, especially in humid environments and ship transmission
Water 2
Virus able to survive in chemically treated water. Increase infectivity, especially in humid environments and ship transmission
Zoonotic Shift
Genetic shift in virus increases infectivity, mutation chance and makes cross species infection possible. Increases future research speed
