The Necro-Mortosis virus:
First discovered in 2006

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.
