Individuals within the Infectants are like Bees. They all do have their own mind, in a sense, but listen to their Hive Master (leaders of small colonies such as the A-Z Infectants) or Hive Mind (parent of all pure Infectants)

Pure Infectants produce spores from their pores to infect weaker organisms. A deep bite or injection from one will lead to Infection against stronger species. The Volver, despite being immune to toxins and radiation, have their limits. Aside from Antroth venom, Infectant viruses can be quite fatal to them.

A-Z Infectats, being direct children of the Q Virus (Hive Mind) and King Viral (Offspring of the original Hive Mind), have the potential to produce their own hordes. Beta, Delta, and Alpha are the only Infectants that can suppress their animalistic nature. It is still there however, and can be triggered through environmental stress.

And as Eco said, the Virus is remarkably resilient. It can and will infect anything if given enough time.

Dr. Que crated a cure for the virus after YEARS of study, but only made a few doses. It cannot be replicated without a Pure Infectant body and Dr. Que's formula.
