As long as the host is not experiencing fear and panic, the virus will not cause any harm, since it only reacts to norepinephrine. The virus seems to only mutate men, with infected women promptly dying in considerable pain.

The result is a constant state of hunger and starvation, driving the zombie's only remaining instinct; to eat.
Another result of this enhanced metabolism is immense strength and vitality, making zombies generally stronger than normal people despite the decay in muscle tissue. This metabolism is also the cause of the itching sensation reported by infectees prior to death.?
The most striking feature of a zombie is their insatiable hunger and ravenous behaviour, their primary method of attack is to feast upon the flesh of the living or dead. Human flesh is their primary food source, as it contains the high levels of energy necessary to sustain their tremendous metabolism.
Highly acidic gastric acid is stored within the stomach in order to efficiently absorb consumed human flesh and can also be vomited to attack living humans. They are virtually immortal, and can only be killed by being shot directly in the head. They are not deterred by inconsequential damage and will continue their search for food despite the loss of limbs or even the lower half of their body.
Assuming they haven't degraded too much, some zombies can manage to quickly shuffle towards their prey faster than normal. Depending on the background of the zombie, such as the trainees on Rockfort Island, there are variations in the level of degradation of muscle tissue.
They are highly resistant to fire, although dousing them completely in fuel or kerosene and setting them alight can kill them outright.
They are similar to zombies that have had their legs or mid-sections blown off, so they are classified together. These zombies in particular are the ones likely to enter the " Licker " transformation. Zombies also maintain some visage of their former life due to their physical features, such as uniform, indicating their former occupations and even level of muscle degradation which can indicate their former level of fitness.
These zombies are originally Umbrella researchers studying viruses who have since become infected with the viruses themselves. Primarily, they are present in almost every Umbrella facility which has become subject to contamination of the virus. During the Mansion Incident, S. Alpha team member Forest Speyer was attacked and subsequently infected with the T-Virus, becoming a zombie soon after.
Bravo team succumbed to the effects of the t-virus and became a zombie, attacking Rebecca Chambers. The term attributed to zombies used for T-Virus research experiments, first documented in the Arklay Research Facility.
They are easily distinguished by their naked appearance and distinct lack of deterioration in comparison to other zombies. The term applied to the citizens of Raccoon City during the T-Virus outbreak.
This type also includes many from outside of the city as well, as many residents from another town were present in the city for a football game at the time of the outbreak.
Their numbers are plentiful due to even off-duty officers being mobilized to quell the riots and chaos in the city. If infected with the virus, immediate cellular breakdown within the body occurs, resulting in death, subsequent reanimation and an unquenchable hunger for flesh.
So far, Alice and to some extent Albert Wesker , who bonded with the virus and became the equivalent of a superhuman, is the only exception to this rule. The research Umbrella was conducting on the T-virus was considered illegal by environmentalists like Matt and Lisa Addison , who planned to steal the virus and expose Umbrella's work to the world.
The nature of the virus is protean; once released into the environment, it adapts accordingly. According to the Red Queen, the virus is both an airborne and blood-transferable pathogen.
A simple scratch or bite from the infected persons allows the virus to pass from person to person. During its gestation, the T-virus attacks the adrenal glands, eventually working its way up through the spine to the pineal gland in the brain. The virus may cause violent convulsions in the body just before the pineal gland bursts, killing the victim.
The virus then resides inside the brain, making reanimation of the body possible. The rate of infection varies, depending on the severity of an infected person's wounds. A severely injured Rain lasted less than two and a half hours; [4] Matt experienced immediate mutation from the scratch of the Enhanced Licker.
When the outbreak in Raccoon City occurred and the pandemic decimated the planet, unchecked mutation within the undead populace or further experimentation by Umbrella may have given rise to " Majini Undead ", a type of undead with mandibles that sprout from their mouths as a secondary mutation.
In an attempt to replicate the success seen in " Program: Alice ", Albert Wesker infected himself with the T-virus and showed enhanced speed, strength and healing instead of becoming an Undead. The side-effect he experienced for a time, however, was a strong hunger for human flesh.
He fed on the Umbrella employees and survivors he captured for experimentation. Wesker has since appeared to have conquered the adverse side-effect. Some time after removing Alice's powers, Wesker injected Alice with the T-virus, instantly restoring her infection and all of her powers, claiming at the time that she was the "ultimate weapon" in the war against the Red Queen and the Undead horde.
