The "Spitter" strain of Green Flu is caused by infection in a person with illnesses like chronic heartburn or helicobacter pylori. The virus hijacks the hormone gastrin which is the chemical used for creating stomach acid. The "Spitter's" saggy appearance can be explained by leakage of acid from the stomach into other regions.The "Jockey" strain of Green Flu is caused by the degenerative properties of the virus causing a shortening of the spinal cord. This gives the "Jockey" its hunchback stance. The dementia and/or mania often seen could have already been present prior to infection and was intensified or caused by neurological damage to the brain during spinal cord degeneration.The "Charger" strain of Green Flu is caused by a strange occurence where the virus causes massive amounts of growth hormones to be applied to only certain parts of the body causing a form of gigantism. The callouses on the overgrown arm of the "Charger" originates from constant use as a defensive tool as seen when it charges. The skin on the arm has been tested to be as thick as elephant skin and would require hard piercing rounds to penetrate so conventional surgical tools would be ineffective. The charging behaviour comes from the Green Flu's capability to break down the frontal cortex and other areas of the brain causing its victims to act like feral animals.The "Hunter" strain is caused by infection in a person with high levels of lactic acid in the bloodstream, which is a result of heavy physical activity. The "Hunter's" claw-like fingers can be a case of bone dysplasia causing abnormal bone formations in the fingers.The "Boomer" strain is caused by infection in a person with abnormally high amounts of fatty tissue or cholesterol in the blood stream. The infection hijacks the stomach and gastrointestinal system to overproduce bile in massive quantities. Normally, bile is used to break down lipids but when infected, bile production is assimilated. Upon dissection, the "Boomer" has a hollow midsection full of bile. This is because the infection broke down all the fatty tissue and organs that were present and converted it for bile production.The "Smoker" strain is caused by high amounts of cancer or tar in lungs which inhibits complete exhalation thus fill the lungs with infected "smoke". The "smoke" can then cause cancerous growths on the face and body. The virus then hijacks stem cells to cause the growth of multiple, extremely long and complex muscle structures similar to a tongue to form. Combined with tumorous muscle growths on neck, which the random contractions of said muscles cause the mouth and esophagus to act like the barrel of a gun and launch the 'tongue' great distances and reel it back in just as effortlessly.The "Witch" strain is caused by the virus creating a serotonin imbalance which results in clinical depression and is only found in females. It is theorized that there is a direct correlation between a moment of great emotional stress before infection and becoming infected with the "Witch" strain. Since the virus breaks down fatty tissue to replicate itself in the host body, an already extremely thin woman (like an anorexic) would experience extremely violent hunger pains as the virus broke down fatty tissue in vital organs. This would cause her to seek out easily digestible carbohydrates that she woulld need for survival. The slow rise into an extremely violent "tantrum" observed in the "Witch" can be because this strain of the virus is female only, it could possibly put the "Witch" in a permanent state of menstruation or PMS along with the virus altering the visual cortex causing photophobia. The "Witch's" claw-like fingers can be a case of bone dysplasia causing abnormal bone formations in the fingers.The "Tank" strain is caused by the virus shutting down the production of myostatin, the chemical that regulates muscle growth. Without myostatin, tumor like muscle growth grow exponentially until complex muscle movements are impossible or limited and only basic muscle movements are possible. The high aggression also seen in the "Tank" can be explained by the hijacking of the adrenal cortex and overproduction of the chemical adrenaline. High amounts of this chemical can cause higher alertness, agression, and rage.If you have any further questions on the causations of mutation, identification of infected and course of action to neutralize the infected, do not hesistate to contact CEDA.The Boomer is an extremely bloated Special Infected. Their mutation has caused them to overproduce immense quantities of bile.A unique chemical binding effect with Infected and non-Infected flesh. It binds and reacts to either Infected or non-Infected flesh depending on the concentration levels of certain chemical compounds in the bile. Bile from an Infected Boomer only binds and reacts to non-Infected flesh.The bile reacts to a specific chemical signal and produces an extracellular stimulus that induces a pheromone-like attraction from nearby Common Infected which causes them to swarm and attack the bile-saturated source.Since discovering non-Infected tissue as the chemical signal, stale non-Infected human tissue is added to bile. The treated bile no longer binds and reacts to non-Infected flesh as it has already reacted completely to non-Infected tissue. Instead, it now only binds and reacts to Infected flesh, creating a Bile bomb.The virus is highly unstable, rapidly changing and mutates daily. There are multiple strains of the virus, some yet to be identified. When the virus stabilizes, tests will be conducted and vaccination plans will be carried out. The search for a cure will be carried out after.
