The type A Necro-Mortosis virus consists of 7 proteins and
eight strands of ribonucleic acid (RNA), which carry the
code for making the proteins.
To
invade a host, the virus shell includes specific proteins
that bind to receptors on the outside of red corpuscles.
This is how the virus enters the blood stream. The act of
binding draws the virus into the cell membrane. It then
fuses and moves through it, emerging into the cytoplasm
of the cell. Once there, the shell opens, releasing the
ribonucleic acid inside.
The
virus then travels quickly throughout the body. Reaching
all major organs, central nervous system and brain. Once
inside the cerebral cortex, the virus attacks the axons
which connect neurons. The axons are surrounded by a fatty
insulating sheath called myelin, this is used as an energy
source for the virus. It 'feeds' on the myelin. Death occurs
within 4-48 hours. Partial to full reanimation begins soon
afterwards.
