The Infected (28 Days Later)
The Infected are the antagonists of the 28 Days Later series. They are, as their name suggests, people infected with the Rage Virus.
Rage does not directly cause the death of its host, but because the host is solely focused on infecting or killing the uninfected, it causes those infected to become disinterested in self-nourishment which will eventually cause death by starvation. Also, as the Virus causes its hosts to act with no regard for self-preservation, the Infected will not act to evade mortal danger, such as fire, gunshots, or chemical gas. Though the Infected possess a disregard for pain, the number of major body parts severed will affect their mobility, as one Infected was shown to move very slowly compared to other Infected after its arm and shoulder were severed by helicopter blades. (28 Weeks Later)
The Infected experience spasms in the extremities, (28 Days Later (film)) and their irises become blood red. They also bleed from their eyes and nose and vomit copious amounts of infectious blood. According to Dr. Billingsworth, these symptoms are caused by hemorrhaging of the capillaries. (28 Days Later (comic series)) It has been shown that the Infected use their sense of smell (which is apparently enhanced by the Rage Virus and/or their immense rage) to find the uninfected, and that trace amounts of products such as perfume or soap will attract them to the source. (28 Days Later: The Aftermath) Those infected with Rage will also ignore each other and only attack those who are not infected and/or do not show symptoms of Infection.
