An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The virus mutates extremely rapidly, making the possibility of a cure seemingly impossible. It can be spread through water. The protoss were able to devise a nano-tech serum that could reverse the effects of infestation, and Confederate remnants developed a way to partially preserve the subject's sanity, but this was apparently no longer viable by the Second Great War. By then the Swarm had developed a particularly virulent strain of the virus which renders those infected vulnerable to UV radiation. Extreme mutation by the virus will turn a terran into an aberration.

  • The virus mutates extremely rapidly, making the possibility of a cure seemingly impossible. It can be spread through water. The protoss were able to devise a nano-tech serum that could reverse the effects of infestation, and Confederate remnants developed a way to partially preserve the subject's sanity, but this was apparently no longer viable by the Second Great War. By then the Swarm had developed a particularly virulent strain of the virus which renders those infected vulnerable to UV radiation. Khalai protoss are (usually) protected from infestation by the fortitude of the Khala, but it has failed in at least one unusual circumstance. Nerazim are protected by the powers of the Void. Terrans are not as fortunate; their psionic potential was noticed by the zerg and the virus was used to assimilate it. The Queen of Blades was an example of a successful infestation, but most terrans, even psychics, were rendered mindless drones by the process due to genetic incompatibility with the virus. Kerrigan made efforts to remedy this and succeeded in the infestation of Ethan Stewart. Extreme mutation by the virus will turn a terran into an aberration. Years after the End War, the virus was able to infest terrans in different ways, resulting in volatile infested terrans, infested siege tanks, and infested banshees.
