Though Rage does not kill its host directly, lacking the instincts to find food, the Infected do eventually die from starvation. The Infected individual is driven by constant, rabid, all-consuming rage with a single-minded drive to always violently attack and pursue any uninfected individuals they find. Highly contagious and spread through bodily fluids such as blood and saliva, the virus takes over an exposed host within ten to twenty seconds. Symptoms include constant spasming, and internal bleeding from all bodily orifices as well as haemoemesis (vomiting infectious blood). Usually, the Infected exhibits no goal or trace of their former-selves and will not hesitate to attack former loved ones ( Donald Harris was a notable exception who experienced fragment memory flashbacks, although it did nothing to curb his aggression and seemingly motivated him further to attack his loved ones).

'Infected' refers to humans who have been infected by the Rage Virus that originated in the Cambridge Primate Research Centre.
